An earlier model Lockheed freighter
\nAfter a three-year wait, the LM-100J has finally arrived on the commercial market. Last week, Lockheed Martin rolled out the first of these propeller-driven, modified military aircraft, known as \u00a0\u201cSuper Hercules Commercial Freighters.\u201d Lockheed expects the freighter\u2019s first flight to happen this spring.
\nLockheed Martin, which has decades of success with the C-130J Super Hercules aircraft in the defense industry, announced plans to manufacture the LM-100J in February 2014. The company has filed for an civil type certificate update from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration for its latest addition to the C-130 family.
\n\u201cToday\u2019s rollout\u2026 reflects the aircraft\u2019s capability to evolve to meet customer requirements. The LM-100J program has exceeded all expectations in moving from an idea to a reality,\u201d said George Shultz, vice president and general manager of Air Mobility & Maritime Missions at Lockheed Martin. He added that, \u201cthe FAA has been an essential partner in this aircraft\u2019s production.\u201d
\nCivilian operators of the LM-100J freighter are expected to benefit from technological developments and improvements that result from more than 1.5 million flight hours achieved by military operators in 16 nations, Lockheed said.
\nLockheed Martin said that the LM-100J will support oversized cargo transport, oil dispersion\/aerial spray, oil and gas exploration, mining logistics operations, aerial firefighting, and other functions.
