Herman Barkey led the Sikorsky team that designed the UH-60 Black Hawk, the utility helicopter that replaced the iconic Bell UH-1 Huey as the backbone of US Army aviation. The Black Hawk was designed to survive in the modern battlefield -- with redundant flight systems, crashworthy structure, and the ability to fly on one engine. Over 4,000 have been built, serving in every American military operation since the 1980s and becoming the standard military utility helicopter of the Western world.
