Lockheed C-130 Hercules
Aircraft of the U.S. Navy
Entwicklung
The first flight of the YC-130 prototype was made on 23 August 1954 from the Lockheed plant in Burbank, California. The initial production model, the C-130A, was powered by Allison T56-A-9 turboprops with three-blade propellers and originally equipped with the blunt nose of the prototypes. Deliveries began in December 1956, continuing until the introduction of the C-130B model in 1959. Some A-models were equipped with skis and re-designated LC-130D. As the C-130A became operational with Tactical Air Command, the C-130's lack of range became apparent and additional fuel capacity was added in the form of external pylon-mounted tanks at the end of the wings.
Der Erstflug des YC-130-Prototyps erfolgte am 23. August 1954 vom Lockheed-Werk in Burbank, Kalifornien. Das ursprüngliche Serienmodell, der C-130A, wurde von Allison T56-A-9 Turboprops mit Drei-Blatt-Propeller angetrieben und ursprünglich mit der stumpfen Nase der Prototypen ausgestattet. Die Aulieferung begann im Dezember 1956 und dauerte bis zur Einführung des Modells C-130B im Jahr 1959. Einige A-Modelle wurden mit Skiern ausgestattet und in LC-130D umbenannt. Als die C-130A mit dem Tactical Air Command einsatzfähig wurde, wurde die fehlende Reichweite der C-130 sichtbar und zusätzliche Treib-stoffkapazität wurde in Form von externen montier-ten Tanks am Ende der Tragflächen hinzugefügt.
