The General Motors Matched Power Team

of Allison Prop-Jet Engines

 and Aeroproducts Turbo-Propellers

helps set new Performance Records

in the versatile Lockheed Hercules

ALLISON POWERS SIX VERSIONS OF PROP-JET C-130 – A little more than a year ago the Tactical Air Command took delivery of its first Lockheed Hercules. Today this amazing prop-jet transport is operating with the U.S. Air Force in the U.S., Europe and the Far East, and soon will report for duty with the Royal Australian Air Force. Already the matched team of Allison Prop-Jet engines and Aeroproducts Turbo-Propellers has logged 200,000 flight hours powering the C-130 to new performance records as a high-speed troop, cargo and missile transport – as an in-flight refueling tanker for fast jet fighters – as a “Ski-130” for Arctic use – and now as a “see-130” aerial map maker. Allison Prop-Jet power will soon bring record performance, dependability and operating economy to the commercial jet age, too in the luxurious Lockheed Electra – already ordered by 11 world airlines.
