CH-53 Sea Stallion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A variant, the CH-53E Super Stallion, while dimensionally similar, is a much improved version designated S-80E by Sikorsky, which replaced the Sea Stallion in the heavy airlift mission. Air Force HH-53 Super Jollies became the primary Search and Rescue helicopter in Southeast Asia between 1967 and 1975, inserted the Operation Ivory Coast rescue team into the North Vietnamese prison camp at Son Tay in 1970, and were the transport force for Marines attempting to rescue the crew of the SS Mayaguez. Marine-flown Navy Sea Stallions comprised the rotary wing element of Operation Eagle Claw, the attempted rescue of American hostages in Iran in 1980 that ended in disaster and embarrassment at "Desert One." en.wikipedia.org /wiki/CH-53_Sea_Stallion   (824 words)

The Boeing Sea Knight & Chinook The Sikorsky S-80 / CH-53E Super Stallion was felt to give adequate heavy-lift capability for US forces. As mentioned, Singapore is also buying six Super Ds to increase their Chinook fleet to twelve, and is considering upgrade of their current International CH-47Ds to the Super D standard. There has been some grumbling among the Army helicopter aviation faction that the full Super D fit wasn't that much more expensive and is clearly superior, particularly with regards to a full glass cockpit and many more corrosion-proof composite assemblies, and that the CH-47F effort has been "penny wise and pound foolish". www.vectorsite.net /avch47.html   (6795 words)

Rotor & Wing By replacing the -416 engine with the -419 in the Marines’ CH-53E Super Stallions, GE can provide an 8% upgrade with minimum cost, according to Samuel Powel, GE’s Director of Advanced Turboshaft Marketing for the CH-53 program. Although the Navy has stated that the program is still in the requirements stage and that some issues remain to be worked out, a large part of the CH-53E Super Stallion overhaul will be a replacement of the current General Electric T64-416A engines. Despite the 1970s technology of the CH-53E, the postponement and probable demise of the Future Transport Rotorcraft (FTR) program is forcing the Marines to look at ways to keep the helicopter in action well into the future. www.aviationtoday.com /cgi/rw/show_mag.cgi?pub=rw&mon=0602&file=0602engines.htm   (2465 words)
