Ingame description:

Long research into alternative propulsions methods resulted into this ship.

Description:

This rocket is the only lander that is currently capable of reaching Venus and being able to return from it. However, it requires plasma fuel and a plasma fuel efficiency level of at least 25 to do so. (NB Plasma Efficiency level 21 would allow the Black Hawk to lift off the surface of Venus, and is therefore enough for the game to permit a landing, but it is not enough if you want to leave orbit and actually return.)

Aside from its use in reaching Venus, the Black Hawk is an overall quite capable craft, but expensive to develop due to its reliance on plasma fuel, which requires its own line of efficiency research. Furthermore, plasma fuel cannot be crafted off-world, only purchased on Earth, which can make the Black Hawk expensive to operate (As of March 23 2023 you can now craft plasma fuel off-world with Refined Uranium). On the other hand, a Black Hawk with high efficiency can make a return trip to any world without refueling.
