- Name
- UH-60 Black Hawk exact T700-GE-701C configuration
- Notes
- GE identifies T700-GE-701C for H-60 Black Hawk variants; the canonical S-70/UH-60 family aliases cover UH-60, HH-60, and MH-60 branches, so this exact option does not infer a narrower H-60 submodel.

- Name
- UH-60M exact T700-GE-701D configuration
- Notes
- GE's current T700-701D datasheet identifies UH-60M Black Hawk as an application; this exact branch preserves the modernized UH-60M hardware boundary without generalizing the D variant to earlier H-60 generations.
