C-130 HERCULES

الناقــــــــــــــلالعمــــــــــــــــــــلاق

DESCRIPTION:

Development of the C-130 Hercules began in the early 1950s, and the popular transport continues to be produced in large numbers half a century later. New C-130J and L-100 airframes continue to enter service both for military and civil operators, a trend which shows no signs of slowing for at least the next several years.

Following the Berlin Airlift and the Korean War, the USAF realized the need for a new transport with a large unobstructed cargo space, turboprop engines for better performance, and rough field operational capability. The winner of the USAF design competition was the Lockheed C-130. With a high-mounted wing to maximize cargo space and a hydraulically-operated ramp at the rear of the fuselage, the C-130 set the standard layout for all future cargo aircraft.

The initial C-130A was so popular with pilots and capable of such exceptional performance that the basic airframe was soon adapted to numerous other tasks. Many early models were converted to AC-130 aerial gun ships equipped with large-caliber guns and heavy armor. Other applications in which the C-130 has found success include search-and-rescue, airborne refueling, airborne early warning, and special forces transport.

Over 2,000 C-130 aircraft have been built in numerous variants. Current production is focused on the latest C-130J models.
