Availability and Use of Rotary-Wing Aircraft in the Department of Defense

Author

  • Congressional Budget Office

Abstract

As of September 2023, the Department of Defense had about 5,400 rotary-wing aircraft. The Army had about 3,700; the Department of the Navy (DoN) had about 1,400; and the Air Force had about 300. Almost half of those aircraft were versions of H-60 transport helicopters. In recent years, availability rates of the Army’s rotary-wing aircraft have been greater than availability rates of the Air Force’s and DoN’s aircraft. But DoN has flown its rotary-wing aircraft more hours per aircraft than the other services have.
