What is the MH-60 max range?

• A. 245 nm
• B. 150 nm
• C. 300 nm
• D. 400 nm

Answer: (A)

Range is the distance the helicopter can fly on a full fuel load at economical cruise without refueling. For the MH-60 in its standard configuration, the published maximum range is about 245 nautical miles. This figure comes from the balance of fuel capacity and engine fuel consumption at a typical cruise speed, representing how far the aircraft can travel before it runs out of usable fuel. The other numbers don’t match the MH-60’s standard max-range specification; they would require more fuel (external tanks) or assume different conditions that aren’t part of the standard max-range figure.
