![]() HNVS includes a pilot night vision system (PNVS) by Lockheed Martin, an integrated Honeywell helmet and a visual vision system (IHADSS) and an infrared-visioning (formerly Hughes) system, FLIR AN / AAQ-29A. The night vision helicopter system (HNVS) allows low altitude operation at night and in bad weather. The CH-53K cockpit is a compatible night vision goggle for AN / AVS-6 NVGs. The cockpit screen includes four 152 mm × 152 mm (6 in²) color screens, type CM A-2082, supplied by CMC Electronics (formerly Canadian Marconi) and Elbit ANVIS 7 NVG / HUD head-up display. The helicopter is equipped with a new digital glass cockpit with fly-by-wire control and haptic feedback, HUMS, a new elastomer hub system. Sikorsky CH-53K Cockpit and Avionics The CH-53K helicopter's cockpit can hold three crew members. This helicopter is equipped with a refueling probe in flight that can be extended forward and can also lift the fuel hose from the surface of the ship when in flight mode. King Stallion can expand its range and endurance through refueling in flight. For remote operations, the helicopter can be equipped with seven additional tanks that provide additional 7,949 liters of fuel. Drop tanks, with a total capacity of 4,921 liters, can also be installed externally. The internal two-cell fuel tank produces 1,465 liters of fuel. Self-sealing bladder fuel tanks, each with a capacity of 1,192 liters, are installed at the front. The helicopter has a climbing rate of 2,500 feet / minute (13 m / s). The CH-53K's cruising speed is 170 knots (196 mph / 315 km / h). The engine cover and transmission fairing are made of Kevlar construction. Sikorsky CH-53K Engine The CH-53K King Stallion helicopter is powered by three General Electric T408 (GE38-1B) turboshaft engines with a value of 7,500 shp (5,600 kW). The rotor heads are mainly titanium and steel. The main rotor blades are made of Nomex honeycomb construction with titanium spars and composite glass fibers and epoxy shells. The CH-53K helicopter drive system is a seven blades main rotor and a four blades tail rotor equipped with a Sikorsky knife inspection system. The main unit retreats behind the sponsor. This helicopter is equipped with a retractable three-wheel type landing gear consisting of three two-wheeled units. Meanwhile the cockpit is made of glass fiber and epoxy material. The CH-53K fuselage is made of lightweight alloys, steel and waterproof titanium construction. The CH-53K will have more than twice the lifting capacity and action radius of the CH-53E, and wider cargo space to allow it to carry the Humvee internally The main improvements are the new engine and cockpit layout. Sikorsky CH-53K Specs The CH-53K helicopter is a general redesign of the CH-53E Super Stallion. ![]()
