First flight

The first flight of the YC-130 prototype was made on August 23, 1954 from the Lockheed plant in Burbank, California. The aircraft, serial number 53-3397, was the second prototype but the first of the two to fly. The YC-130 was piloted by Stanley Beltz and Roy Wimmer on its 61-minute flight to Edwards Air Force Base; Jack Real and Dick Stanton served as flight engineers. Kelly Johnson flew chase in a P2V Neptune.[5]

Production:
 
C-130 Hercules flight deck

After the two prototypes were completed, production moved to Marietta, Georgia, where more than 2,000 C-130s have been built.[1]

The initial production model, the C-130A, was powered by Allison T56 turboprops with three-blade propellers. Deliveries began in December of 1956, continuing until the introduction of the C-130B model in 1959. Some A models were re-designated C-130D after being equipped with skis and rockets for jet-assisted takeoff. The newer C-130B had ailerons with more boost — 3,000 versus 2,050 lbf/in² (21 versus 14 MPa) — as well as uprated engines and four-bladed propellers that were standard until the late 1990s. The performance gains over the C-130A gave the C-130B the reputation of being the design's 'sports car' model.

to je ukratko o avionu ...a koga zanima vise dao sam i link....evo sad par fotki:

p.s: Posebno obratite paznju na ovog sto ide po ledu....gledao sam dokumentarac o njemu...i slece i uzlece sa leda ....sad ne znam tacno na kojoj nadmorskoj visini....ali je fantastican...i posebne mlaznice koje ukljuci pred uzlet da bi uopste mogao da uzleti...i daju mu neverovatan potisak...

evo nesto od mene na brzinu izdvojeno..................

woodpecker...

Samo mogu da citam temu sa uzivanjem 

Evo malo Herculesa na ledu.... Posto me oni i najvose fasciniraju....:

I na jednoj slici sam obelezio one mlaznice o kojima sam govorio....mada ovaj imam manje mlaznica nego onaj o kom sam pricao....ali cisto da vidite...

Одлична тема


JATO Rocket Pack, не користи се само на том авиону већ било где је потребан додатан потисак за полетање. Корисна справа.

Tako je ....JATO...sad sam se setio.... znam da se ne koriste samo na ovom avionu ....ali mislim da je ovom potrebno najvise mlaznica....

P.S: Ajmo ljudi....dajte neke fotke....informacije...bilo sta vezano za C130....

Evo jos nekih podataka o "Hercules"-u......................Elektronski EC-130 se koriste u nekoliko varijanti.Ec-130E (ABCCC) je leteci komandni centar.U modulu koji se montira unutar trupa nalazi se oprema za odrzavanje veze.Opremu opsluzuje 12-16 operatera.Za elektronsko izvidjanje namenjen je EC-130E (CL) "Senior Scaut".Elektronsko ratovanje je posao za cak deset DC-130H "Comapss Call".Za psiholosko-propagadni rat se koristi EC-130E(RR) "Rivet Rider" koji je opremljen radio i TV relejima.Detalji o uredjajima elektronskih Herkulesa drze se u tajnosti kao i njihovi redovni zadaci.
  A u Vijetnamskom ratu su standardni C-130 avioni korisceni za izazivanje vestackih sumskih pozara izbacivanjem bombi sa zapaljivom smesom.Cistine za sletanje helikoptera u tropskim prasumama stvarane su pomocu aerosolnih bombi.
