Indian Air Force First C 130J Super Hercules

Range, power, performance, safety redundancy, reliability, sophisticated avionics all come with the C-130J Super Hercules - an aircraft that can meet virtually any airlift mission requirement. With Rolls-Royce AE2100D3 engines and Dowty R391 six-bladed composite propellers, the Super Hercules operates in hot climates, handling short, high-elevation airstrips with maximum payload.

The Super Hercules transports 33 percent more payload, using half the crew, while burning less fuel and flying faster, farther and higher than its predecessors.

Faster: The C-130J is faster and climbs more quickly, offers 21% more speed. Time-to-climb is slashed by 50% over earlier model C-130s.

Higher: The C-130J flies higher, climbs over the weather and has a 40% greater cruising altitude than the C-130H.

Farther: The C-130J flies much farther with less fuel, provides up to 40% greater range than the C-130H.

Clearly, Lockheed Martin has gone much farther than simply producing an upgrade to the legendary C-130. Virtually every system, component and structural part of the Super Hercules has been chosen to yield a maximum performance airlifter, which is why the aircraft has so quickly gained worldwide appeal.

In the United States, the U.S. Air Force, Air Force Reserve, Air National Guard, Marine Corps and Coast Guard rely on the C-130J. International C-130J operators include the United Kingdom, Australia, Italy and Denmark with Norway, Canada and India . Many nations are taking notice of the outstanding performance improvements of the Super Hercules, which is why global appeal for the aircraft is growing so fast.

@obiwan8926

The Osprey really isnt in as much widespread use yet. Once the USA starts using them more, they can make a case for selling them to others.

[obiwan8926]

@DSHK45 umm, not to rain on your parade, but the Osprey is currently in active deployment in Afghanistan. You just don't see it so much because the mass produced Chinook and its several variants have had over 30 years of usage.

@kalkibhagwan why are you being sarcastic on my comment? This true in case of India when its pilots fly Mig-21.
