The UH-20Y Lionheart is a twin-engine, medium-sized utility helicopter, built by Rainford Group as part of its agreement with Labelle Helicopters. As the newest member of the UH-10 Hugh, The UH-20Y was initially to be developed from the UH-10 Super Hugh, but in 2010, it was approved to be built from scratch. It entered service in 2015 as a replacement for the UH-70 Blackhawk, first introduced in 1975. In 2015, it entered full-rate production. The Lionheart served as the Special Air Service's primary utility helicopter, replacing the Augusta 75 Lynx. It also serves as Task Force 141's official utility helicopter.
