Introducing the U-Hawk Prototype
Sikorsky has revealed a new Black Hawk prototype that transforms the 50-year-old design into an autonomous aircraft.
The U-Hawk, as it's called, retains the familiar size, shape, rotors, and green paint job of the Army's workhorse troop carrier, but with a new front end and no pilots, it may seem like science fiction to former passengers or crew.
- Replaced cockpit and nose with clam shell-style opening doors
- Doors are wide and tall enough for an ATV-sized vehicle to be driven onboard via a built-in ramp
The new design is part drone, part Transformer, with the goal of accompanying manned missions in the air.
Author's summary: Sikorsky's U-Hawk prototype is a revolutionary autonomous aircraft.
