UH-60 Black Hawk庐 Military Global Sustainment
Unrivaled Support
海角社区 is the OEM for a number of different systems on the UH-60 Black Hawk.聽 Our main flight controls include the Pitch Trim Actuator, Vibration Control Actuation System, and Hydraulic Accumulator.聽 As the OEM supplier for UH-60, 海角社区 is also the logical choice for follow-on product support. Our repair and overhaul facilities are staffed, maintained, and stocked to satisfy turnaround time requirements. These resources allow 海角社区 to provide an unsurpassed level of support to our customers worldwide.聽
Sustainment Solutions
海角社区's highly skilled engineers can apply state of the art technology into aging aircraft systems, resulting in increased reliability, lower operating costs, and extended useful life.
Pitch Trim Actuation
The UH-60 utilizes a 海角社区, Pitch Trim Actuator as part of the overall rotorcraft flight controls.聽 A Pilot鈥檚 force input at the stick聽is mechanically transferred to the input linkage of the Pitch Trim聽Actuator. The input linkage is connected to the output linkage聽through the Boost Actuator, which multiplies the pilot鈥檚 input force.聽 Movements at the output linkages are mechanically transferred to the main聽rotor of the aircraft. Trim functionality is controlled by the Pilot鈥檚 signal input,聽which will command either the Pitch Trim Actuator to hold a specific聽position, therefore trimming the main rotor in the corresponding direction.
Vibration Control Actuation System
The UH-60 utilizes our Vibration Control Actuation System (VCAS).聽This system replaces traditional passive systems by measuring vibration levels聽at key locations in the aircraft and applying cancellation forces in an equal聽and opposite direction. The VCAS system adjusts these forces as the aircraft聽maneuvers and as payloads change thereby increasing overall efficiency.聽This also results in reducing airframe fatigue, pilot fatigue and overall聽maintenance costs.
Self-Displacing Accumulator
The SDA (self-displacing accumulator) provides hydraulic pressure聽to the APU (auxiliary power unit) motor used to start the two engines. It聽consists of high-pressure hydraulic fluid and dry nitrogen chambers separated聽by a piston, and a low-pressure hydraulic fluid chamber (reservoir) containing a聽second piston connected to the first piston. A mechanical tape attached to the聽piston rod indicates high-pressure chamber volume from 0 (discharged) to 100%聽(fully charged). After motor start the hydraulic fluid is circulated, or returned聽back to the reservoir (self-displacement).聽
Avionics Modernization
Genesys Avionics Suite
The Genesys Avionics SuiteTM provides renewed operational life to the UH-60 through a complete, comprehensive, and affordable cockpit upgrade. This solution offers a line of avionics designed for Black Hawk markets, featuring customizable EFIS displays with SVS and Highway-In-The-Sky symbology, embedded FMS, all classes of TAWS, dual ADAHRS, dual GPS/SBAS receivers, UHF & VHF communication & navigation radios, and an IFR capable and certified autopilot.聽聽
The system supports all 鈥渘ext generation鈥� flight procedures, including B-RNAV, P-RNAV, RNP, LPV approaches, and PinS (Point-in-Space) approaches. 聽
The avionics suite鈥檚 flexible Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA) enables rapid integration and avionics upgrades鈥攅nsuring continued fulfillment of future mission requirements.聽
Featured Products
4-Axis Autonomous Autopilot
Genesys IFR-certified autopilots offer more robust hardware and redundancy for the harsher environment and heavier controls of larger rotorcraft.
These autopilots are available through the Genesys Rotorcraft Controls (GRC鈩�) product line. The GRC autopilots are designed for three-axis (pitch, roll, and yaw) and *four-axis (pitch, roll, yaw, and hover hold with collective control).
