Shit .. this reminds me of the daring Doolittle Raiders, from April 1942 on The original Hornet CV8, when they launched those bulky B25 Mitchells from the deck.
NO JATO WAS USED FOR THIS TAKEOFF. They didn't need to use jato bottles due to the fact that the carrier was making 28 knots into a 25 knot wind, meaning they had over half the required takeoff speed for an early model Hercules already moving over the deck.
@dankinusmc1 Exactly, but most cilvilians do not realize that the carrier just does noty ever sit there for takeoffs & landings, it is constantly moving so natural airflow over the deck is often used to the advantage.
REAL Free energy technology exists!But the powerfull Oil business won't alow common ppl to know this,Get a motor that needs no gas or electric input at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,Start the energy revolution!
Even though the C-130 is bigger than a B25, you have to think of how powerful those engines are, and how efficiently they deliver that power compared to an old war radial.
Besides, it's built for STOL. It could take off, not land back on though, from one of those Carriers that just carry Harriers and helicopters.
It's what happened. It's too heavy for the ship's catapult to safely launch. But due to the physics involved (Four large turboprop engines covering a wide area with efficient propellers) it forces it's self up with raw power. It's STOL capable anyway.
As i recall the Doolittle raids were worse. Same size of aircraft, the carrier then was smaller. And minus the fancy avionics and STOL ability they got the B25s up.
i believe the B25's were smaller, but if you look at the scale of things it could be the same. And once the majority of B-25's took off from the hornet, the B-25's cold use the majority of the deck, some even still barely scraping the water.
Please check the series ''WINGS'' this is a documentary that discovery channel produced in the 90's ,look for the C 130 HERCULES episode and problem solve you will see........!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is exactly the role of the v-22 osprey. heavy cargo that can be brought to a carrier. also im pretty sure its rocket assisted, you can see smoke off the sides
There are many great reasons to put a C-130 on a ship....the last time one landed on mine they landed to bring us supplies to fix a Small Hull leak that we couldn't fix on our own
The Navy did a whole series of landings and takeoffs. From what I recall, the plane was fairly heavily loaded. The (US Air Force) pilot got a DFC for the feat. Eventually they decided that striking the entire air group belowdecks or shooting 'em all off to give the Herkybird a clear deck was too much hassle. The C2 Greyhound was subsequently developed .
I read about this when I was a teenager. The plane landed in 300ft using his reverse propellor's then took off in 700ft with the carrier at full speed, all of this to demonstrate that it could be done.
No, they never did anything with it. The trial was considered a failure. It was concluded that it would not be practical for average fleet pilots to land a C-130 on the deck.

.........BUT, could it carry ANY cargo weight at all, PLUS fuel enough to get anywhere? Nice show, but what's the use?

Does it use JATO rockets to take off or the catapult?

Do C-130 use the Cat to take off i know it may sound like a siyyl question??.

They easily can land and take off from carriers. It just greatly increase the wear on the reduction gearbox
