why would you want to go downwind? The reason why aircraft carriers in the ( Doo-little?) raid went up wind was to get more lift across the wings. WTF dynmicpara

TIME. Your large C-130 is EXPOSED to enemy fire taxiing to an up-wind take-off position; if you can take-off downwind using rockets to reduce exposure and done repeatedly, speed resupply/deployments by airlanding...

Isn't this what Low Altitude Parachute Extraction System is for?

LAPES will act as an air anchor for the plane, yes but the effect stops once the load is let loose. How much of a STOL effect is it? They experimented on C-123s during Vietnam to reduce landing roll with tail parachutes in the air, its a good idea, every bit helps. Thanks for bringing this up.

For test footage you want to concentrate on what you are seeing in detail for identifying pros/cons so you can correct them. I should re-mix and put some HOOAH! music with the footage to make it more exntertaining.

yeah... like kickstart my heart or something
sergeant137 3 years ago
=o) Excellent sarcastic humor! When I re-mix with music I'll run it by you and see if its as good as de-fib paddles!

The Credible Sport program was intended to create an aircraft that could land and take-off within the confines of the soccer complex in Tehran. Special Forces soldiers would disembark, rescue the embassy hostages and then use the specially modified YMC-130H for extraction.

Yeah too bad they pancaked it by firing the wrong rockets in the wrong order.

@Ranzear and not firing the back rockets to help the aircraft from hitting the ground too hard.

Holy crap, an Ultra-STOL C-130!
If we had that ability today, it would make logistics one heck of a lot simpler. Still, my favorite VSTOL upgrade concept for the C-130 was the one that would have put a gigantic rotor on top --- a Hercules Gyrocopter!
There have been far worse mishaps than that. If you look at the cockpit, you can see that the crew was unharmed!

If you call broken "bones unharmed" then okay. From what I remember, there were injuries. Its too bad we didn't have this ironed out before Desert One. Then again, the Pave Low would never have become a spec-ops platform had it not been for the lessons leared with the "slick" RH-53D's.
