Allison Prop-Jet Engines Power Hercules To Greece A modern day Hercules has visited his ancestral Greece. This was accomplished recently when an Allison-powered Lockheed C-130 Hercules combat cargo transport plane landed at Athens, Greece, during a tour which originated at Elgin Air Force Base, Fla., and covered many European countries. The C--130 Hercules, named after the Grecian Hercules, has become known as the Strongman of the Airlift Missions of the USAF Tactical Air Command. The four Allison T-56 prop-jet engines and Aeroproducts propellers developing a total of 15,000horsepower, powered the Hercules at altitudes of 26,000 feet enabling the 62-ton giant to fly above unfavorable weather and heavy air traffic at speeds of nearly six miles a minute. During the European tour the plane demonstrated the reliability of its prop-jet engines and propellers. It travelled 16,000 miles, made 18 stops during the tests and required only routine minor engine maintenance. On one leg of the trip this newest member of the Tactical Air Command raced high above the Alps Mountains rather than around them when it flew from Athens to Evreau, France. While this plane was touring Europe another Allison-powered Hercules was flying non-stop 1,601 miles from Mobile, Ala., to Panama at an average speed of 357 mph. The flight to Panama was a feature of a joint military maneuver to train U. S.-based and Panama-based ground, sea, and air forces in amphibious and airborne operations. The Hercules is the first propjet powered combat cargo transport to enter USAF operational service. USAF Wings in Europe will receive Allison-powered Hercules planes later this year as a replacement for the slower piston engine transports. The Hercules can carry 92 combat troops, or 64 fully equipped paratroopers, or 40,000 pounds of combat cargo. It also can be quickly converted to a hospital evacuation plane capable of carrying 76 litter patients and medical attendants.

News From Allison The U. S. Air Force’s naw Alli-son-powered transport the Lockheed C-130 Hercules has set a new world record for landing and takeoffs on ice. In tests just completed at Bemidji, Minn., home of the mythical giant Paul Bunyan, the Hercules, weighting 111,000-lbs. at takeoff became the heaviest ski-plane ever to land and take off on ice. It was a tense moment in the “Ice Box of the Nation** when Maj. Charles E. Fitzwater, USAF, pilot of the Hercules, landed the plane on Lake Bemidji. The lake, scene of boating and swimming in |he summer, was covered with two feet of ice and topped with about one foot of snow.. Braving toe sub-aero weather,

aircraft ski experts from all over the nation watched as the Hercules, using fully-reversible Aeroproduts propellers, came to a stop only 1425 feet from point of touchdown. The giant plane then took off in only 985 feet, just 10 times its length. This spectacular performance on snow and ice shattered records previously set by smaller and lighter planes. This is the first time a plane so large as the Hercules has ever been equipped with skis and landed on kb so thin. A major reason for the world record performances of the Hercules is the power of four Allison T 56 turbine engines geared to Aeroproducts three-bladed propellers. Each engine produces eoo-hp.

Two main skis, weighing 1,700 pounds each, and a smaller nose ski are mounted on the aircraft in such a manner they can bo retracted for whoetodown landings or takeoffs when needed. The main skis, as large as boats, are 10% ft. long and 5% ft wide. The ski adaptation adds further versatilltjs to the Tactical Air Command’s global mobility mission “to carry anything, anywhere, anytime.** With the ski conversion the pilot can select combat transport can operate from concrete or hastily prepared strips using its largo fringhihut tandem tires.
