Sikorsky CH-53K King Stallion Overview

The U.S. military operates some of the most expensive and advanced helicopters on the

planet, designed for heavy lift, combat, assault,

and maritime missions. At the top of the list is the Sikorsky CH-53K King Stallion, the heavy-lift giant

used by the Marine Corps. This massive helicopter is estimated to cost up to $89 million

per aircraft once full production stabilizes, and the Marines plan hundreds of

them with a total procurement budget in the tens of billions.
