Watch a Giant Propeller Get Replaced from a MASSIVE EC-130J AIRPLANE(2018)

During their Letter Check inspection, members of the 193rd Special Operations Maintenance Group changed out a prop on an EC-130J. Here, they reattach a repaired prop. The process is time consuming because they need to seat the prop so it doesn't have any extra vibration.
Lockheed Martin C-130J Super Hercules is a four-engine turboprop military transport aircraft. The C-130J is a comprehensive update of the Lockheed C-130 Hercules, with new engines, flight deck, and other systems. The Hercules family has the longest continuous production run of any military aircraft in history. During more than 60 years of service, the family has participated in military, civilian, and humanitarian aid operations. The Hercules has outlived several planned successor designs, most notably the Advanced Medium STOL Transport contestants. Fifteen nations have placed orders for a total of 300 C-130Js, of which 250 aircraft have been delivered as of February 2012.

Just toured the 109th. These eight bladed props are so much easier to work on, install, and remove than the old 54H60s we had on the now retired E models. Much better prop too, according to the pilots I know who fly them.

That’s not an 8 bladed prop. This is a Dowty 6-bladed on a J

Are these replacing the 1973 super E's we had a Sembach in the late 80's?

@@esandave You had a cool Job 👍 I remember the C-130 three bladed propellers. They were used in Vietnam as gunships. They were really advanced during the Vietnam war.I remember seeing videos of them blowing up enemy vehicles at night.Someone had to be strapped and look out the cargo door to see if someone was shooting at them.

@Hopeless_and_Forlorn 3 года назад

Well that sucks. On the old, Aeroproducts H-606 propeller, there was one big nut that was easily handled with a torque multiplier. Prop changes were simple. Replacing any of the four units on the back plate of the propeller, on the other hand, was a bitch with the prop on-wing.

Why don't they use air-rachets?

@davidranlet5019 4 года назад

Because normally there is no air source. In the ISO hanger like they are, they have air. But out on the flight line, definitely not. You sort of get in the habit of just using regular ratchets.

@matthewmajcher7180 3 года назад

Per AFI, air tools are not allowed.

Tool is too it doing the same work 🙄🙄🙄
