The machine looks like an ordinary plane but has a huge four bladed propeller place horizontally above the body of the plane. This propeller is not connected to the motor but is worked by the action of the wind produced by the forward speed of the plane. Stability is assured by the fact that each blade can be warped independently and tests proved that the helicopter can travel at high speed or remain in the air almost stationary.'

Title: Sikorsky UH-60-A Black Hawk helicopter
Date(s): 1980
Contributor(s): E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company (originator)
Description: The Sikorsky UH-60-A Black Hawk helicopter, a utility tactical transport designed to meet mission requirements for the U.S. Army, uses about 160 pounds of Kevlar 49 aramid fibers in each craft. At least 80 pounds of weight savings are achieved by the use of the aramid fiber in doors, the tail rotor shaft, cover, stabilator, instrument panels and "doghouse." An additional 30 pounds are saved by the use of ballistic armor of Kevlar in the pilot's seat.
