1. Safety Is a Priority During a Helicopter Medical Evacuation

What makes these medical aircrafts ideally suited for medical evacuation jobs? They are versatile in their functionality, protection, and safety features. UH-60 MEDEVAC helicopters are capable of storing large amounts of medical and emergency equipment while allowing space for multiple people to travel at a high speed in any condition.

If an emergency situation ever occurs, this aircraft is the ideal transportation system to carry you to safety. The Black Hawk helicopter is also the primary air ambulance for the Army.

Some features of UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters include:

• Armor protective seats for pilot and co-pilot
• Cargo hook for external lift missions
• Titanium and fiberglass main rotor (4 blades)
• Powered by 2 General Electric T700-GE-700 1622 turboshaft engines
• Speed of 163 mph
• Allows door mounting of 2 M60D 7.62mm machine guns
• Disperses chaff and infrared jamming flares using the M130 general purpose dispenser
• Capacity for an entire 11-man fully-equipped squad in most weather conditions, with a crew of 3

During a helicopter medical evacuation, this particular helicopter has overall been able to enhance the safety of emergency aid capabilities and mobility in air medical evacuations due to its cargo capacity improvements.

2. The Black Hawk Medevac Is Fast, Powerful and Versatile

It’s easy to see why the Black Hawk is the preferred method of transportation for helicopter medical evacuations. Though there are different versions of this aircraft, it is incredibly powerful and efficient during medical evacuations. Here are some examples of the aircraft in action:

• Takeoff, fast-roping descension
• Takeoff, full view of aircraft, how to load a patient on
• Landing, repelling, refueling of aircraft
• Loading people onto aircraft

In air medical evacuation situations, the typical configuration of the helicopter provides enough space for 6 litter patients and one ambulatory patient. There are many other variations that can fit comfortably inside the aircraft, and each configuration allows sufficient moving room for a crew chief and a medical aidman.

When the aircraft is in a helicopter medical evacuation, the center pedestal of the MEDEVAC can rotate 90 degrees on its vertical axis, allowing patients to load/unload on each side of the vehicle. In addition to multiple entrances, this aircraft also has a double engine, allowing it to travel faster to your emergency landing ground.

As you can see in the videos above, the UH-60 MEDEVAC is powerful, functional and overall a favored aircraft among many medical professionals as well as aerospace pilots, engineers, and military service members.

3. UH-60 Medevacs Contain Top-Quality Engineered Materials
