Beating China by flying C-130s off American aircraft carriers?
Рет қаралды 527,933
3 ай бұрынThe United States is developing numerous new technologies, weapons, aircraft, and more all aimed at deterring Chinese aggression in the Pacific... But with more than a decade between today and when these systems will be fielded in real numbers, Uncle Sam needs some deterrent tricks up his sleeve in the meantime.
One such trick could involve operating C-130s off of American aircraft carriers, equipped with Rapid Dragon palletized missile launch systems.
Let's talk about it.

As a retired C-130 Loadmaster after 26 years of service, I am always amazed at how the Herk keeps coming back with something new to protect our Nation.
@baomao7243
The unarrested C-130 carrier landings are truly impressive.
@utoob7361
The Herc will probably be the first manned vehicle to get to Mars. After a few modifications, of course.
@WanderingDad
Anyone who thinks deterrence is expensive ought to look at what an actual war costs.

Ahhh yes. The C-130. A flying B-52 in disguise
@oceanmariner
Flatley, the C-130 pilot, was the son of James Flatley Jr., the man that in WWII formed VF-10, The Grim Reapers.

The C130 is a beast. Designed to land on a Rhode Island golf green and take off from the Scottish Highlands golf T. My group hauled a 2 +1/2 and a jeep at low altitude over hilly terrain and the runway was hidden behind a fuzzy hill. Driver Dropped 300 feet To beat the hash marks and slammed into the land strip too late. The vehicles bottomed out and broke the chains on the rebound. Driver bounced off the strip and did a hard bank right and the vehicles skidded into our seats before the load master could correct the rookie. We broke out new chains and bounced the vehicles back to center on a left bank turn before we landed. We broke all the rules. Tuff air trucks. Perfect for aircraft carriers.

In 74, I saw a C130 do a JATO takeoff out of Meadowlark Airport in Huntington Beach CA. It was a super small general aviation spot that is long gone. He cleared my 2nd story pad that overlooked the runway by a couple hundred feet. To see it leap off a carrier is no surprise to me. C130s, B52s, F15s and 16s are eternal machines....

The Big Herc never goes out of style!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@edwardfletcher7790
Great to see the Aussie Ghost Bat drone in the video 👍
@geraint8989
And the UK sold all of its C-130s to save money - they had the audacity to say the C-17 can perform every C-130 role better. Embarrassing.
@davidpalmer4184
Love the Herc, the first perfectly good airplane I ever jumped out of. I still remember the instructors (I am in my 60's) "Our job is not to teach you how to jump out of this airplane, our job is to make sure you can do it a second time."

C-130 + Rapid Dragon could do some damage.
@ATLSloan
Literally this is the first thing I thought when I saw the original rapid dragon video showing it get deployed out of a C130, ‘watch them propose c130’s flying these things off Nimitz/Ford carriers…it worked 60 years ago on smaller carriers..’.
@ricjona1069
Love the C130. When i was in, it was a workhorse. The Marines, at the time, used it for only supplies and manpower. The platform is capable and is used for so much more today.
@francisbusa1074
The C-130. What a plane! Been around forever, too!
@joelloveless3494
The C-130 used in the carrier test is sitting in the storage area of the naval aviation museum in Pensacola. Cool!
@charlesbiskeborn3369
This should scare the spit out of anyone interested in messing with us. Rapid Dragon is impressive all by itself but this idea is just diabolical and I love it. ❤
@JoeBribem
This is one of the reasons the US is scary as hell to take on. Always innovating and always thinking outside the box.
@ronaldschoolcraft8654
The Mighty Herc! One of the greatest planes ever. I used to work for Allison where the T56 engines were made for that aircraft (the J model uses the AE2100) and have done engineering work on both the T56 and AE2100. When I first started at Allison in 1983 as a GMI co-op student, I was digging through the engineering library and found a book about the history of the C-130. There was an entire chapter dedicated to the carrier testing done on the Forrestal. Pretty cool to read about 40 years ago. Very few people even knew about that back then.
