Sikorsky UH-60L Black Hawk Utility Helicopter Variant

The Sikorsky UH-60L is the legacy upgraded U.S. Army Black Hawk utility-helicopter variant that preceded the UH-60M. Army sources distinguish the UH-60L by its increased gross-weight capability, cruise speed, climb rate, and external-load performance; the Army has since treated the L model as a legacy airframe for replacement or recapitalization, so this boundary is preserved as retired under the S-70 family.
