ERROR AT 4:12 This helicopter can fly a L O T faster than the stated 37 kilometers/hour ( 23 miles/hour) The chart at 5:55 shows that it can fly at 195.6 miles/hour
add list to correct: 4:05 : the CH-53 family has THREE turboshaft engines. The third is located behind the rotorhub with the intake sticking out on the left-hand-side.
4:05 you made an error here: the CH-53 family has THREE turboshaft engines. The third is located behind the rotorhub with the intake sticking out on the left-hand-side.
Michael, you are 100% correct. 3 engines like the E model, but more shaft horse power. The 53K is faster, but I don't think it has the operational range. That can be resolved with adding additional internal fuel capacity. Both are pretty awesome machines.
This helicopter completed a successful air-to-air fueling test with the help of a refueling tanker. I would have been more impressed if it did it without the help of a tanker.
one can not appreciate the amount of noise that is created by this helicopter. I was a crew member many times while stationed on MCAS Futenma. It's massive!
Just think Creepy touchy feely Uncle Joey and the Demonocraps gave these away to the Taliban, including a state of the art fully equipped Airforce Base and assets, keys and everything
@@SunriseLAW Not nonsense, mostly. Just disjointed in a way common amongst writers who either don't know or don't care about the topic at hand. So yeah, garbage.
Best looking helicopters ever built Mi-24 Hind, AH-1 Cobra / Viper attack helicopters (sorry Apache) and the Sea/King Stallion heavy lift choppers. The Stallions are so damn big and massive they are just awe inspiring.
A Blackhawk is high maintenance because there are a crew of inexperienced 18-19 year olds maintaining them. I was on a cruise aboard a guided missile cruiser observing a maintenance crew for the ships SH60B helicopters. The E5 or E6 level personnel knew what they were doing. The lessor ranks not so much.
Those technicians have to go to school on how to maintain jet engines and other systems so they're probably a little older than teenagers and they probably also know what they're doing since they've been trained.
@@rayjames6096 It took 2 1/2 years for me to hit the fleet. Still had more training after that. But when a CPO said you can't do it that way. I did not re-enlist. I also had 3+ years of engineering before I ran out of money. I joined to make more and go back. So yes I did know what each part was for & how it worked & how it was programmed to work. The schematics were in my head. They were not in the chiefs head. I was actually older than the chief. I would have stayed but I knew there more chiefs and officers like him. I did not need a fault matrix guess sheet. Yes I did know programming. I did know a bit of quantum mechanics. TTL and CMOS design. My brother unlike me got a free ride to his BSEE. Then my dad died. He had problems with that also. After 25 years of doing it. The government said he was not qualified. So 25 years of developing the science in the field is not the same as studying his work in a college. Studying it is better and much betterer because you gets a PhD and he did not. But here is the rub he made more after being disqualified and hiring a PhD to sign the papers as a contractor. A LOT more. One job was more than the previous 25 years.
To fly is heavenly, to hover divine. Rotary wing aviation there is simply no substitute. Thanks to all now serving, those who have, and those who will in the future. FLY NAVY!!!
It's crazy! I don't think the relatively small benefits compared to the older version justifies the development cost. In my view, it would have been better to build more of the old versions, maybe with some upgrades but not a completely new model with such a huge cost. But I guess Sikorsky are happy...
Probably why the Commandant of the Marine Corps wants to make the Corps smaller. Get rid of jobs, and people that way you can free up money for the King Stallion and F35s
The UH-1 and the AH-1 are original airframes but the USMC chose to have them factory refreshed and upgraded as opposed to buying new when I served we routinely had aircraft coming from and going to the Texas factory facility it surprises me that USMC chose to buy new
yeah $50m an engine ....someone somewhere is taking the proverbial...for that much i want it to tuck me at night wake me in the morning dress me feed me and shoot down any missiles fired at me ..cant do that ...im not buying it 😂🤣
It’s complete B.S. that it’s low maintenance. You can service two chinooks for every one CH 53. It’s only advantage if it’s not down for service is it’s higher speed.
@michael Harris I understand what you mean but isn’t the the helicopter’s main role in transportation thus I don’t see why it would need to be too fast.
Walked off the ramp of. CH-53 delta a few times doing some jumps @ Camp Lejeune in 92’ I’ll never forget the feeling of seeing the rotor right when your walking off the ramp & thinking man that rotor would slice & dice you up lol.Semper-Fi.
The current 53 is the most labor intensive platform we have. New or now they will require many of the same inspections, but it can lift but boy at a big cost. Hardest platform I ever worked on and Ive done them all.
@@darkknight1340 Through the whole video. The K ditches the external fuel pods resulting in looking like the MH. Fuel probe is also fully retractable too if I'm not mistaken. Hop over to Lockheed Martin's website and tell me it's not.
While I appreciate the videos, please don't mix Metric and Imperial units. In some places you state feet and inches then switch to cm. Since this is a US helicopter, I would suggest keeping everything in Imperial units - feet, inches, pounds and miles.
I live in Stratford CT & I was lucky enough to see one of these when it was lifting off from the Sikorsky factory here. They really are massive. Even compared to the CH-47's I often see. Obviously that flying bus is bigger but for a single rotor helicopter it's crazy to see it flying.
most of the measurements in this video are metric when at least when I was in Army Aviation everything except fuel was done in SAE on the shadow 200 that I flew.
95 % of the world's population and probably a majority of the viewers of this video are used to the metric system so it makes most sense that way. You know, not only Americans watch US produced videos.
@@skunkjobb many viewers may not be American, but you can convert from imperial to metric just as easy as I can go the other way. It just makes more sense in a video to go with the measurements that are used in the country of origin at least to me especially sense the poster is using both systems.
@@joshuathomas8529 I think it makes most sense that as few viewers as possible have to make unnecessary conversions regardless of what unit was used where or when the object in question originated. An example where we travel in time instead of location: Imagine a video where they talk about some ancient thing. Should they use ancient units that only 0,01 % of the viewers know just because that was the unit used at that time or is it better that the producer of the video (only one person) does the conversion? I think the latter.
@@reubenmorris487 OR, the US could join the rest of the free and intelligent world and use the metric system. A system with a base 10 unit of measure which is infinitely easier to work with than the retarded SAE system.
That’s completely insane. Civilian S-92’s are going for $25M max, with all the bells and whistles, what makes this $75M more? A Predator cloaking device and plasma cannons? Typical military cost overruns that the taxpayer gets stiffed on once again?
Civilian helicopters don't need or have any armament, defense capabilities, need to travel over water for hours, maintenance done on a ship at night in rough seas, the ability to fold to be able to fit on the same ship, the third engine, 4 more blades, and above all the fuel capacity that weighs more than an s92 max weight.
S-92 hauls 11500lb @ 165 knots (max speed), CH-53K hauls 44122lb @ 170 knots (cruise)... that's before considering predator cloaking device and plasma cannons, maybe do five seconds of research before talking shit?
@@jackwalker9492 They should have learned in High School to always check your work. When something seems wrong and stupid, it just might be because you did something wrong or stupid -- like forget a zero when you are dividing. That is what happened here. Big difference between $12.5M and $125M.
@@craigkdillon BUT! You pointed out the math. I am guilty as are many for just skimming the headline and pouncing to a conclusion without taking time for details. You pointed out the obvious and did everyone a favor. I skimmed it, thought BS, but didnt go into the details like probably many others. I relieved to hear better and thanks for doing the homework for me! Salute!
@@jackwalker9492 A friend with a bad sense of scale pointed out that civilian S-92s (a less capable heli with about 1/4th the lift) can be purchased for roughly $27 million, so getting King Stallions for an average of $12.5 million would be fantastic. Of course, getting 4x the lift on a very capable helicopter would be worth well over 4x the price, so $125 million isn't unreasonable either. Unfortunately, both the video and this commenter did their math wrong - it's a $25 billion contract, not $2.5 billion, leading to a unit cost of $125 million each, so it's just a good deal, not an amazing deal. As the production lines run and other countries buy CH-53K, the price is also subsidized, with the current 2022 actual unit cost being $91.6 million (under 1/4th a civilian S-92), not $125 million. The worst thing the military budget offices could do would be to cancel the project, realize they still need the capability - and fund the development of a new heli that will cost even more, won't be subsidized by other countries, and will inevitably itself get cancelled right as procurement begins. That's the Congress cycle. Fortunately the Marines have bet a lot on the idea of mobile forces, so King Stallion should be delivered in full.
@@Bingo_Bango_ Thank you for such a detailed reply I can not claim exerience to deccide on this iue, but wil look at your answer more closely. LOL, Rare, that on YT somebody says I must listen to this. You take care and again, I will study this advice and thank you for it.
@@pctrashtalk2069 Shoot > just 1 state got enough oil to run the whole UNITED STATES 200 years > we have 50 more states Our Reserves are overflowing. But yet we buy over seas oil. Don't make any good since
I think the guy meant that the G model is 37KM faster than model it is replacing however, understand that this mistake is understandable since he doesn't seem to know the meaning of pounds and miles per hour.
@@mariusdufour9186 probably that’s what he meant, but not what he actually said. A friend of mine used to fly that older model of helicopter in the 1960s.
So it has no stealth, it's slow, Yeah it can left stuff but does have hidden bays for SM2s. I am really trying to understand what it does that it cost so much? It looks like a cool cockpit but there's a whole c130 sitting over there 🤷🏿♂️
Not really. It's slow, not armored and not armorable, a huge target with a hot engine. AC-130 works because it flies outside most non-peer adversaries range. There's a reason US doesn't really use helicopters in a gunship role and why Russia loses the most of them in relative terms compared to any other type of equipment.
6:33 “Fother more” Text to speech has really taken a step forward being able to sound like a person by training it to sound like you or whomever, unfortunately typos can easily be missed and you get phrases like “Fother more”. Something that wouldn’t have been spoken that way if a person was actually reading it. Sometimes you have to misspell something to get it to sound right in the app, like “Firther” would have sounded like further in TTS.
Why not? F35 will not carry more than 1 person. Has 2 more engines than an F35. Carries more fuel than a F35. Can fly longer hour wise. Max weight is more than a F35. Same fly by wire systems. A F35 will never have to worry about all arms fire, mines, or landing on top of snow covered mountain. The helicopter still will have the same threats that an F35 has plus the ones that it doesn't have. Oh and it takes more machined parts make it fly
Was in HC-1 in the 80s. We had 2 53Es and were the worst. Only 1 flew once in a yr. We had to let those crews fly in our H3s to get flt time. I want my money back!
Pretty impressive. Hard to compare the 47s I rode in to one of these monsters. But just keep in mind, the larger and slower the target … no matter how many flares, with todays ground to air missile systems, they are targets of high value.
At first glance, this thing seems pretty over the top in terms of cost vs. mission capability. I mean for that price, the marines could fly their own planes! Add to that, the increased 'manpad' availability, and proliferation. not to mention the probabilities of drone swarm attacks, and I wonder if this behemoth is headed for Battleship utility....not to mention vulnerability.
It's a heavy lift rotary wing.. It can lift 3x the amount the older versions could.. And it's built for the Marines. So what the hell you're posting is dribble..
@@WizzRacing Just so you know, 'junior' (just guessing here), more than one Joint Chief has made much the same observation ergo ...."drivel' my ass .. Btw, former XVIII Airborne Corps Spcl Warfare "Skydragon" here. In my day, I was attached to the old 'FORCES COMMAND' and occasionally, I used to jump out of these "Collection of Spare Parts Flying in Close Formation" (i.e. Choppers) and 'interfaced' with Marine Recon units frequently. Having said all that, I will admit this new model is quite an improvement, but still damned expensive, especially given the 'mission' which is currently, shall we say, 'evolving'.
@@seeratlasdtyria4584 The damn mission is to move shit from A- B... So what part you not get? And make an appeal to authority again. I dare you.. As It's a short bus riders argument. When they try that shit. As the Marines don't buy shit or replace shit unless they need it... Have a nice Day Junior...
This is exactly the weakness in the US military. 125million dollars. In actual battle how fast can these be replaced? Can they even be replaced with a limited war time budget?
If you are ever at a local airport when defense contractors have a meeting. The CEOs all have their private jets and they are huge. I saw some come in years ago and it only had the man and his family on board this huge jet.
Which colour do you want Sir, we provide then in a fetching colour scheme in Blue and Yellow, ideal for the Black Sea, when viewing the Russian Glass Steppes and at night the still glowing remains of Moscow.
Take my Healthcare away and stop fixing the bridges that I drive over. Forget about what Eisenhower said just give us the helicopter and the craptacular fighter now, now, now.
