Tthe 록히드 마틴 C-130J 슈퍼 허큘리스 4 엔진 터보프롭 군용 수송기입니다. C-130J는 록히드 C-130 허큘리스의 포괄적 인 업데이트이며 새로운 엔진, 비행 갑판 및 기타 시스템을 갖추고 있습니다. Hercules 제품군은 역사상 가장 긴 군용 항공기 연속 생산을 보유하고 있습니다. 60년 이상의 복무 기간 동안 가족은 군사, 민간 및 인도적 지원 활동에 참여했습니다. Hercules는 계획된 여러 후속 디자인, 특히 Advanced Medium STOL Transport 참가자보다 오래 살았습니다. 15개국이 총 300대의 C-130J를 주문했으며 그 중 2012년 2월 현재 250대의 항공기가 인도되었습니다.
Tthe C-130J Super Herculesis the most recent and advanced version of the venerable C-130 family. While it looks similar to the “Legacy” Hercules from the outside, it is a completely different aircraft under the skin. Featuring more powerful engines, a digital “glass” cockpit, and automated systems that allow for a reduced crew size, the “J-model” flies higher, faster, and farther than any of its predecessors. It remains the only military transport aircraft in history to remain in continuous production for over 60 years.

Advanced Technology & Efficiency
Digital Glass Cockpit:The J-model replaced the hundreds of analog gauges of the E and H models with four large liquid crystal displays (LCDs). It also introducedHead-Up Displays (HUDs)for both pilots, allowing them to fly low-level missions without taking their eyes off the horizon.
Advanced Propulsion:The AE 2100D3 engines are 25% more powerful and 15% more fuel-efficient than earlier models. The distinctsix-bladed composite propellersare lighter and provide much higher thrust at low speeds.
Reduced Crew:Thanks to the high level of automation and theStation Keeping System (SKS), the C-130J eliminated the need for a dedicated Navigator and Flight Engineer, reducing the standard crew from five to three.
Enhanced Cargo Handling:The J-model includes an Enhanced Cargo Handling System (ECHS) that allows for quicker reconfiguration between paratroop missions, palletized cargo, or vehicle transport.
Variations and Versatility
The “Stretch” (C-130J-30):The most common version in service today is the C-130J-30, which features a 15-foot fuselage extension (two plugs), allowing for two additional cargo pallets or significantly more paratroopers.
The Special Ops Fleet:The J-model airframe serves as the basis for theAC-130J Ghostridergunship, theMC-130J Commando IIfor special operations, and theHC-130J Combat King IIfor search and rescue.
The KC-130J:Used extensively by the U.S. Marine Corps, this version acts as a tactical tanker, capable of refueling both helicopters and fixed-wing fighters while also carrying cargo.
Worldwide Operator Base:The C-130J is used by nearly 20 nations, including the UK, Australia, India, and Canada, ensuring its status as the “backbone” of global tactical airlift for the 21st century.
