MH-60X Stealthhawk

The MH-60X Stealthhawk, also known as Project Black Knight was a project started in 1976 to test the viable-ness of a Stealth Helicopter for insertions into enemy territory without being detected by radar. The UH-60 Blackhawk had made it's test flight just two years prior, but wouldn't be till 1979 that it came into service. One of the most notable black companies specializing in black projects was given the funding and undertook Black Knight to make it a reality. Over the course of 4 decades (1976 to 2016), the project evolved from the early X-60 Stealth Hawk concept to the current MH-60X Stealthhawk, the Helicopter found home with Special Operations Aviation Battalions within the entire Democratic Republic Military. Results from early use of Black Knight were used to study the effectiveness, and it wouldn't be until 2020 when the Stealthhawk truly became silent when specially designed dampeners were installed to reduced the noise in the rotor hub and specially designed 'silent' turbines were installed.

While the MH-60X does still serve in it's role, the MH-88X will replace it as the primary Stealth Helicopter being used by Special Operations Aviation Battalions. It should be noted that CIA Black Ops used Black Knight briefly in 1979 and 1980 for a number of black operations.
