 C-130 HERCULES | ||
| The C-130 Hercules primarily performs the tactical of airlift mission by using its aft loading ramp and door . The C-130 are manufactured by Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company. On 23 August 1954, the YC-130A Hercules made its maiden flight
at Burbank, California. The initial production model was the C-130A, with Four three-bladed Allison T56-A-9 turboprops. The first C-130A flew on 7 April 1955 and deliveries began in December 1956. Now is five decades since US Airforce issued original design specification and C-130 Hercules still in production. During the Vietnam Conflick, some C-130As were converted into gunships. Inaddition to their side firing 20 mm. Vulcan cannons and 7.62 mm. Miniguns, they also have sensors for target acquisition system and forward looking infra-red (FLIR) and low-light trlevision system. Later designated AC-130. The C-130B entered service in June 1959. The B-model introduced the Four bladed Allison T56-A-7 turboprops, carries additional fuel in the wings. A few C-130Bs, used for aerial fire fighting mission. The C-130D, several A-models were redesignated C-130D which were fitted with ski landing gear for service in the Arctic. The two main skis are 20 feet (6m) long, 6 feet (1.8m) wide. The nose ski is 10 feet (3m) long and 6 feet (1.8m) wide. The D-model also has increased fuel capacity and provision for JET assisted takeoff (JATO). The C-130E is extended range developed from C-130B. deliveries began in April 1962. More powerful Allison T56-A-7A engines were used and a pair of external fuel tanks . The C-130H is similar to the E-model which updated the engines to T56-A-T5 turboprops, a redesigned outer wing, updated avionics and other improvements. deliveries began in July 1974. The H-model has become the most produced of all C-130 models. The C-130J is the latest addition to the C-130 fleet. The C-130J incorporates state-of-the art technology to reduce manpower requirements, lower operating and support costs, and provide life cycle cost savings over earlier C-130 models. The C-130J climbs faster and higher, flies farther at a higher cruise speed, and take off and lands in a shorter distance. The C-130J-30 is a stretch version,adding 15 feet to fuselage, increasing usable space in the cargo compartment. The C-130J-30 incorporates two extension plugs, one forward and one aft. The forward plug is 100 inches long while the rear plug is 80 inches for a total of 180 inches or 15 feet. The C-130J and C-130J-30 major system improvements include advanced two-pilot flight station with fully integrated digital avionics, color multifunction liquid crystal displays , global positioning system, fully integrated defensive systems. The C-130J , C-130J-30 incorporates new turboprop engines with six bladed, all composite propellers coupled to Rolls Royce AE2100D3 turboprop engines and incorporated with auto-pilot. More than 145 C-130 Hercules aircraft were deployed in support of Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm. From 10 August 1990 to the cease-fire, C-130s flew 46,500 sorties and move more than 209,000 peoples and 300,000 tons of supplies. They provided all supports.
