CH-53K Helicopter – The True Heavy Lift
The CH-53K King Stallion advances Sikorsky’s 50 years of manufacturing and operational success with its CH-53A, CH-53D/G, and CH-53E predecessors. Built to thrive on the modern battlefield, including shipboard operations, the CH-53K aircraft is designed to be intelligent, reliable, low maintenance and survivable in the most austere and remote forward operating bases.
CH-53K Heavy Lift Update
STH Project (Heavy Lift Helicopter) in Germany
With the all-new CH-53K being part of the Bundeswehr´s STH competition, Lockheed Martin Sikorsky and Rheinmetall have formed an industry team of more than 10 German companies, which includes MTU Aero Engines, Autoflug GmbH and Hydro Systems KG. The team will guarantee a significant workshare and a high degree of technological cooperation directly in Germany.
A Strong CH-53K Team: For Germany, By Germany
Simulation, Training, Technical Publications, MRO
Rheinmetall Aviation Services will provide all key services such as maintenance, repair, training and program support in Germany for the Heavy Transport Helicopter project, making it the Bundeswehr's main point of contact to ensure safe and effective operations of the CH-53K.
Engines, Engine Maintenance
MTU Aero Engines has developed the CH-53K engine (T408) jointly with GE, with an 18-percent share of the project. Production and final assembly of the engine for the German CH-53K program would take place in Germany. Additionally, MTU is responsible for engine maintenance over the helicopter's entire service life.

C-130J Super Hercules
Many accomplishments, many capabilities … only one C-130J Super Hercules.
From the highest landing strip in the world to austere runways almost destroyed by natural disasters, the C-130J goes where other airlifters can’t, won’t or don’t go.
The C-130J isn’t a concept or in test phase. It isn’t a show horse. It’s a workhorse that’s in operation around the world, flying in every environment and mission scenario required every day and everywhere.
Proven. Ready. Unmatched.
