The C-130 “Hércules” is an airplane which was made to transport load to anywhere, especially to the places where the spanish airforce are around the world. Moreover, bringing load isn’t the only thing that can transport, as a normal plane is able to transport people, too.

The plane is driven by a turboprop engine. It has four engines, each wing has four of them. The landing gear has six wheels in total. Under the middel there are four of them and under the cockpit we can see two more wheels. Inside the cockpit we can find two seats where the pilot control the plane, it has many strange devices to control it. The rest of the fuselage has a lot of space. Military personal are allowed to travell in this space, thus there are enough space, tanks, box of munition or weapons and other vehicles can be there during a travell.

To sum up, it’s important to know that It might be difficult put this kind of load on a plane, but the C-130 has an incredible door at the end of the plane, under the rudder where this vehicles and people can get in.

The C-130 Hercules is a really big aircraft created by USA near 40 years ago. This plane is one of the best machines created ever, it cat go as fast as 600 kilometres per hour and is able to charge twenty thousand kilos.

Furthermore, this plane can travel almost 4.000 kilometres without landing.

It is used by most of occidental countries, to transport different types of freight like armament, provisions, vehicles, fuel or even people. In Spain is often used to transport paratroopers from different units like Brigada Paracaidista or even EZAPAC.

The aircrew goes at the cockpit, where they must manage the whole aircraft. The pilot is not the only one that must be aware of what happens on the plane, another pilot and a mechanic have to inform him about other things like the fuselage, the situation of the gear or other problems that can happen in the air.

To sum up, this amazing machine, C-130 Hercules, is one of the most incredible inventions made by humans that is been used by a lot of armies around the whole for years in different missions.

Lockheed C-130 Hercules is a transport aircraft powered by four turboprop engines. The Hercules is the main transport plane of many armed forces in the world, among which we find Spain, Argentina, Canada…

On one hand, the parts of the plane we can highlight are the cabin, where 5 pilots can fit which is located near the nose of the aircraft, a wing area of approximately one and a half football fields (including wings and flaps), four turboprop engines that can carry a load of up to 20,000 kg, a very long tail boom and a large landing gear so that the Hercules can land properly (it's a heavy plane).

On the other hand, although this aircraft entered service in the Spanish air force a few decades ago, it is being flown nowadays, although it is also being replaced by the Airbus A-400M too.

Finally, as a personal opinion, I have to say that I find this plane very interesting and I wish I could fly it before they are all sold, because if someone flies a plane with all kinds of aids in terms of piloting it, the essence of flying in a more manual way is lost.

Hercules c-130 is one of the biggest  airplanes of the world. It was designed in Spain in 2018, so it is really modern and has a lot of  technology advances. 

Aircraft engineers worked so hard in order to achieve those technology advances. Some of them could be the shape of engines  (its four engines), it is able to hold inside polluting particles, which once it lands, specialists withdraw. It has a great fuselage, it is forty meters long and each wing measures  twelve meters. On  each engine is located 6 blades.

Inside the cockpit we can find a lot of “buttons and switches”  which let the pilots do whatever they want. There is one which enables the pilot convert  the seats on beds. This is due to the facts that aircraft is use to make long flights. It can fly during fifteen hours without the necessity of stopping.

This aircraft is used by the Spanish Airforce on all its missions. That is because the nose of the airplane is a door and permits transport all types of transport such as helicopters, tanks and all the weapons that is needed to live in a war zone.

C-130 is one of the best transport airplane  of the world, due to its  propierties, for example, it has four turbine engine, which are powerful.  There are a cockpit  inside, where two airman who control  the alleron, flaps, rudder,... in conclusion, they pilot the airplane from the cockpit. 

This amazing airplane not only is able to fly a lot of  hours  but it also carries a heavy load, for example, cars or soldiers ready for the battle. He needs not a big  or long aircraft runway, he can take off from short aircraft runway, moreover he can land on ice without difficulties because of its incredible landing gear and break system. In addition it has done a lot of mission successfully worldwide.Thanks to its fuselage, it is able to endure bullet damage, although it has a modern system to defend it of missiles  . If  I were pilot,  I would happy to pilot this beast. This machine does not know the word "impossible"

This airplane reaches an average of 700km/h. It has a reaction turbine. Also all the c-101 that Spain have different stickers, for example, one of the airplanes have a stiker of a coup of the Champions Leage, as a present from Holland. Those airplanes also are used to teach future pilots

The 747 is a commercial airplene use to make long range travels. It has a great capacity for the fuel and is able to fly twenty hours without stops. However, pilots prefer to stop and refuel the tank. 

On the cabin of Boeing we can find the most modern instruments, tablets and a lot of digital gadgets. It can transport around 700 people. It has 4 engines and a second floor, where business people travel with restaurants and beds, it is so expensive, so, sometimes it is empty.
