PROVED IN ACTION

WORLDWIDE

AN AIRLIFTER CALLED

HERCULES!

Over 500 of these mighty Hercules, in 16 different versions, are presently flying throughout the world. Constructed for medium and long range operation, the Hercules is ideal for airlifting strategic materials – for every airlifting task. And the Hercules needs no prepared runways; it lands in 645 meters, and takes off in 1275 meters  with a maximum load of 70,000 kilos!

Way out of the experimental stage, the Hercules is being produced in series at Marietta, Georgia at a high production rate. Overhaul and maintenance facilities as well as spares support are available worldwide. The men who work with the Hercules know too that it needs a minimum of maintenance time, and is surprisingly easy to handle in the air.

The four constant r.p.m. engines give instantaneous thrust when emergency demands. If an engine should ever fail during take-off, the Hercules can still attain an altitude of 4,900 meters.

There is no doubt that this giant airlifter called Hercules, now costing less than ever before, can greatly improve any nation’s ability to move troops and equipment quickly and in strength.
