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.
