It looks just like a C-130
Until you open it up.
The C-130 is new on the inside. The J model will set a new tactical air mobility standard for an unpredictable world.
New engines and all-composite six-bladed propellers markedly improve the J model’s takeoff distance, climb rate, cruise altitude and range. A modernized flight station features electronic displays, controls and on-board mission computers. These cutting edge technologies also lead to significant cost savings. Reductions in the J model’s aircrew and maintenance personnel requirements contribute to its 35% annual savings in operating and support costs.
Air mobility must be as good as its name. Only rapid-reaction airlifters like the new C-130J can deliver the force needed to ward off aggression and save lives.
Lockheed leads.
