Product info
While it maitains the familiar lines of the Hercules, a common sight in the world's skies for decades now, the C-130J has been extensively re-designed. the most visible change lies in the use of two 4700 HP Rolls-Royce (Allison) AX2100D3 engines, with six-blade composote Material propellers that ensure silent running and low fuel consumtion. High performance features include and excellent rate of climb and an extended range of climb and an extended range of action thanks to the new engines. An equally important development is the acionics: the cockpit in face is equipped with new digital instuments and a Head-Up Display that provides the pilot with a constant stream for data without him having to look away from the cockpit window. The C-130 is steadily becoming the standard transport aircraft in many NATO countries, Italy included.
