The 130J isn't set up for Jato. Those Dowty props and RR engines really toss
it in the air without it though!

Hi all.
Does anyone know C-130 rocket assisted takeoff length?

Is it possible that it can be 30 meters (100 ft)?

Thanks.

The SAC for the Navy C-130G (equivalent to the C-130E IIRR)
is online. Normal vs. Jato (8 x 1,000 lb. thrust ATO
rockets) t/o runs (in feet) at weights of 155,000 (normal
max., 2.5g) and 175,000 lb (overload, 2.25g):

Calm, ISA @ SL, Military rated power and 50% flaps. 155,000
lb: 4,125/3,565 feet. 175,000 lb: 5,390/4,750 feet.

The C-130H values should be somewhat less, as it had more
powerful engines but the same max. weights. I don't know
how the C-130J stacks up for t/o.
