The Super Hercules is the worldwide choice in tactical airlift, serving 28 operators in 23 nations.
Defining C-130J advantages that separate the Super Hercules from other medium jet-powered airlifters include:

Truly Tactical
- The tactical airlift mission isn’t about speed; rather, it requires low altitudes and slow speeds, requiring the ability to go anywhere to support a multitude of missions.
- The C-130J Super Hercules is the only tactical-by-design medium-sized airlifter that meets all of the complex and challenging requirements of the tactical airlift mission.
?
Global Interoperability
With 28 operators in 23 nations, C-130J operators are part of a network of partners and allies that facilitates true force amplification, additional training opportunities, knowledge transfer and continued platform innovation.
?
Unmatched Capabilities
Defining advantages separating C-130J-30s from other medium jet cargo transports include:
- The best short-field takeoff and landing performance
- Air worthiness certification from 20+ operators
- Lower fuel consumption
- Reduced carbon footprint
- Increased range
- The most pallet and passenger capacity
- Superior survivability
?
Delivering Value
A stabilized production line, worldwide support system, global supply chain, established Joint Users Group, known insights, industrial collaborations, active training resources and commonalty between previous-generation fleets equals low-risk to service, lower fleet stand-up/operational costs and higher value versus other medium jet airlifters.

?
Continued Innovation
The C-130J is always evolving, always innovating, ready for what’s next — as exemplified by its:
- Unsurpassed multi-mission versatility
- Connectivity across platforms, mission environments
- A mature Block Upgrade program
- Digital integration spanning Super Hercules engineering, production and sustainment
- 21st Century Security capabilities
- Incremental powerplant improvements
- Ongoing aircraft modifications and new production variants to meet evolving airspace and mission needs
?
Proven Performance
- The global fleet of 555+ C-130Js has surpassed 3 million flight hours, providing real and established insights gained from missions flown in every environment, in every scenario.
- These hours provide the Super Hercules operating community validated data that yields reduced life cycle costs and higher aircraft availability.
