Lockheed C130J Hercules
Four decades
have elapsed since the Air Force issued its original design specification,
yet the remarkable C-130 remains in production. The initial production
model was the C-130A, with four Allison T56-A-11 or -9 turboprops. A total
of 219 were ordered and deliveries began in December 1956. The C-130B
introduced Allison T56-A-7 turboprops and the first of 134 entered Air
Force service in May 1959.
Introduced in August of 1962, the 389 C-130E's that were ordered used the same Allison T56-A-7 engine, but added two 1,290 gallon external fuel tanks and an increased maximum takeoff weight capability. June 1974 introduced the first of 308 C-130H's with the more powerful Allison T56-A-15 turboprop engine. Nearly identical to the C-130E externally, the new engine brought major performance improvements to the aircraft.
The
latest C-130 to be produced, the C-130J entered the inventory in February
1999. With the noticeable difference of a six-bladed composite propeller
coupled to a Rolls-Royce AE2100D3 turboprop engine, the C-130J brings
substantial performance improvements over all previous models, and has
allowed the introduction of the C-130J-30, a stretch version with a 15-foot
fuselage extension. Lockheed received the launch order for the J from
the RAF, who ordered 25 aircraft, with first deliveries beginning in 1999
as Hercules C. Mk 4 (C-130J-30) and Hercules C. Mk 5 (C-130J).
