Sikorsky CH-53 Sea Stallion.

H53ICAO type designator

The CH-53 Sea Stallion is a family of American heavy-lift transport helicopters designed and built by the American manufacturer Sikorsky Aircraft. The Sea Stallion was developed in response to a March 1962 request from the United States Navy's Bureau of Naval Weapons for a replacement for the Sikorsky CH-37 Mojave helicopters flown by the United States Marine Corps (USMC).

Capabilities vary with variant, equipment, load, crew and operating authority. This page does not publish unverified generic performance figures.
