Airborne Warfare: C-27J Maximum TO & L Performance

http://www.c27j.com

On a dirt strip (should have been coated with Rhino Snot to eliminate dust), a C-27J Spartan revs up its engines and propfans to maximum power held by its brakes....the pilot lets go and the Spartan zooms ahead gaining speed and induced lift over its wings...100...200....300...400...500..600..700..nose rotation....800 feet take-off!

The mighty C-27J climbs and comes around for a maximum performance landing in dirt....

The main wheels touch and the pilot throws in the wheel brakes and reverse thrusts his propfans....100...200...300 feet...the C-27J has stopped!

Amazing.

Now consider this:

JATO rockets for take-off: brakes released, rolling....10...20...30...ignition, take-off!

RetroRockets for landing: touch-down...brakes...reverse props....50...braking rockets fired!...75...90....100...the C-27 has stopped!

No, military aviation has NOT developed to its fullest potential.

americans speak speak speak...but whit your great tecnology,where are the towers?

[dynmicpara]

Traitor Americans control demolished the WTC towers, too.

[br96022]

IT'S Made by the same that built the marine one

[dynmicpara]

What "marine" one?

[br96022]

the newest Mr. Obama Helicopter.

Already 4 delivered and now stoped the delivery of others due the crisis.

[dynmicpara]

FALSE. The VH-71 Kestrel is built by Lockheed-Martin under license from AugustaWestland NOT L-3 Com/Alenia that makes the C-27J.

@sardosfish Oh, you mean one accident damns one of the most successful aircraft in aviation history? One that contributed TO the C-27J, even? It's using the same engines and cockpit as the Super-Herc. Nice Euro-centric point of view, bro, how's that Saudi Europa turning out?

@stjimmyausundeinz They are 2 different category of airplane, Italy has the C130 and the C27 (or G222) and use them in different kind of missions. It's like to have the F15 and the F16 on line in the same time...

[dynancism]

An impressive display of engineering. STOL is a reality with this one.

[sardosfish]

speak speak speak,this is another great italian product.americans,check your other c 130 vid in you tube without wings...great,compliments

[ihateforigners]

Great replacement for the C-47s.

[TrainTrackTrav]

That is quite an impressive plane! To me it looks like a C-130's little brother. In my mind, that looks like a plane that would be money well spent for an air force looking for a high performance light transport. 5***** by the way!
