Engine and performance of CH-53K King Stallion The flexible configurations will offer maximum mission effectiveness while supporting loading / unloading of cargo without the need for reconfiguring and removing troop seating. The helicopter can carry 463l pallets and high-mobility multi-purpose wheeled vehicles (HMMWVs) due to its large cabin. The cabin is 30cm wider than that of CH-53E helicopter, enabling the transportation of more troops with fewer trips. It can accommodate 34 crashworthy seats and 24 litters. The cabin of CH-53K measures 9.1m long, 2.6m wide and 2m high. The cockpit field of view of the helicopter will be twice to that of CH-53E. The helicopter integrates five multi-function displays (MFDs) and two control display units (CDUs). The rotorcraft also features fly-by-wire (FBW) flight control system, which reduces pilot workload. CH-53K cockpitĪ new digital glass cockpit on board the helicopter is designed to streamline and enhance the entire pilot-vehicle interface. ![]() The powerful diagnostic functions will allow the monitoring of the helicopter’s performance and health, enabling maintainers to resolve issues before the mission. The CFTD also has the capability to connect it to other simulators to provide enhanced attitude control and other aircraft training scenarios. It can be installed with a containerised flight training device (CFTD), which will offer realistic cockpit or system displays and can also simulate weather and tactical environment. The rotorcraft is operated by two pilots and can be accompanied by a maximum of three aircrewmen based on the mission requirements. It is capable of lifting approximately 14t at a mission radius of 203km in marine environments. The helicopter has an overall length of 30.2m, fuselage width of 5.3m and height of 8.6m. The CH-53K helicopter’s design will have a smaller shipboard footprint, lower operating costs per unit, as well as less direct maintenance man-hours per flight hour when compared to CH-53E. Design and features of CH-53K King Stallion It is the only sea-based, long-range, heavy-lift helicopter that will remain in production through 2032 and beyond. The helicopter will serve as critical land and sea-based logistics connector. The rotorcraft can perform missions in the modern battlefield and also support special operations forces, and combat search and rescue (CSAR) operations. It will support a range of military missions, including humanitarian aid, troop and equipment / cargo transport, and casualty evacuation (CASEVAC).
