JimEli,
The C-130/C-141 carriage requirement for UTTAS nearly killed the UH-60 due to the low rotor head causing extensive vibration and drag issues (not to mention concerns over disc/cockpit interaction…) - only solved by the clever introduction of a removable rotor mast extender. It would be interesting to know how often the -60 has been shipped by -130….
