Autorotation works just like a parachute.  Its standard part of helicopter pilot training.  My very first time up, the instructor took me up about 1000 feet above the airport and the said "Now lets disengage the engine."  We started a rapid but controlled decent and safely landed in a grassy area at the airport.  No damage to either us or the helicopter.

I feel lke lighting my DD-214 on fire, no-one gives a ratsass that I was a Marine once...get a degree, or go back in the military, because dd-214s carry no weight in the civilian world. No-one cares. Nice sunglasses.

i recall a few times as a marine in vietnam when we used air force "spooky gunships" sometimes known as "puff the magic dragon" for support at night during some tight spots.  One night in particular they stayed with our company all night  flying in circles above our perimeter raining a solid wall of fire from their mini-guns preventing us from being overrun which was very likely as we were pretty outnumbered.   Funny how I never once thought about them being lower class or lazy or anything like that.  Worked with an army ranger capt. on a combined operation with some popular forces...very very gutsy guy...nope..no low class there.  Worked with good men from 1st arm cav and shared a perimeter...had to trust them...they had enough class for that.  Had lots of navy close air support...no question about the class there...top notch.   Of course navy corpsmen are the classiest of all.  So I don't have much use for childish comparisons and talk about who is better...unless i'm having a beer and joking with my former airborne buddies.  I respect and admire them all.\n\nAMEN Drew

Fast? You mean maximum speed or how fast it travel from one point to another? Well, to answer that, I will give you a brief description of the Black Hawk.\n\nThe Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk is a medium-lift utility or assault helicopter used by over 20 nations.\nIt has a maximum speed of 184 mph or 296 km/h and climb rate of 708 ft/min or 213 m/min. It's powered by two General Electric T700-700 free-turbine turboshafts. Both engine capable generating 1,560 hp and 1,163 kW. Black Hawk also has a ferry range of 1,380 miles or 2,220 km and combat range of 368 miles or 592 km.\n\nWell, I hope this can help you determine how fast is a Black Hawk helicopter.

True, but off a little.\n\nThe helicopter was invented after Chuck Norris was observed doing 8 roundhouse kicks a second.

Several theories abound. According to talk radio it was a craft, but what sort/origin? Some say alien UFO. One source connected to US military claim it was a Made In USA craft. Huge baffles in craft silence the jet engines that power it!
