Ever since aircrafts have existed, certain models have had a lasting impact on the industry. C-130 Hercules for instance is one of the most widely recognized airplanes in the world. A military plane that had an impact on air forces all over the world. Not all aircrafts had the same impact, which shows the importance it has reached.

The Hercules use powerful turboprops, making it able to carry heavy materials and many troops. For this reason, it is the role model for transport planes. Another notable property of this unique aircraft is its design, with a metal coloured fuselage where its aerodynamical shape ensures stability. Pilots have it simple to flight this plane, then the avionic systems inside the cockpit have been actualised every single year since it came into service.

However, the most iconic characteristic is the landing system. High resistant landing gears and a landing assistant, which provides pilots with enhanced situational awareness, make it possible to land the Hercules almost everywhere. No matter what kind of terrain or what weather conditions there are.

To sum up, this plane is not only an extraordinary transport aircraft but also a necessary part of a modern and dynamic Air force.
