England - Farnborough - Lockheed Martin C-130J loadmaster
Loadmaster and lowered ramp on a Lockheed Martin-built C-130J Hercules airlifter. Externally similar to the classic Hercules in general appearance, the J model sports considerably updated technology. These differences include new Rolls-Royce AE 2100 D3 turboprops with Dowty R391 composite scimitar propellers, digital avionics (including Head-Up Displays (HUDs) for each pilot). During more than 50 years of service the Hercules family has the longest continuous production run of any military aircraft in history. Strategic, automated low-level airdrops keep 60 road transport vehicles and up to 120 supple troops off hostile roads using only three flight crew.
