c130
How many fuel tank on C130 aircraft?
four
When was the Lockheed C130 Hercules first used?
The Lockheed C130 Hercules is a four-engine turboprop aircraft that was used in the military. It was originally built by Lockheed and designed as a troop, medical evacuation, and cargo transport plane. The C130-B model was first designed and put into production in 1959.

How big a plane was the C130 Hercules?
The C130 Hercules was designed to be a military transport aircraft. Its dimensions originally were 12m in length, 2.7m in height and 3.0m in width. It is powered by four engines.
How do contra rotating propellers affect the performance of an aircraft?
They eliminate propeller torque as a reason for the aircraft to have a critical engine. When a plane has two engines, the one that will most affect the plane's handling if it quits is called the critical engine. If a twin loses one engine in flight, the plane will turn toward that engine. But in a critical-engine situation, the plane will turn more sharply toward one side. On a clockwise-prop plane the port engine is critical; the starboard engine is critical on a counterclockwise-prop plane. This doesn't necessarily mean the plane doesn't have a critical engine. A plane might have one hydraulic pump. If the engine running it dies, you're going to have to strong-arm the plane back to the ground.
Do jet engines airplanes have a critical engine?
With the above mentioned answer, it is pretty much correct except for the twin engine aircraft. For the twin engine aircraft, the critical engine is the one that produces a thrust line closest to the fuselage. Example: if the twin engine aircraft is equipped with 2X engines which have the propeller rotating in a clockwise direction, then the left engine will be the critical engine. This is because the down going blade on the left engine will produce a line of thrust closest to the fuselage compared to the right engine's propeller. So it is safe to say that if the left engine fails, the aircraft will be harder to control because the thrust line produced by the live engine on the right side has a longer arm from the fuselage causing a higher moment wanting to yaw and roll the aircraft to the left which is harder to control compared to if the right engine fails, such as the Piper Twin Comanche aircraft. However, if the twin engine aircraft is equipped with counter rotating propellers, meaning, the left engine prop rotating clockwise and the right engine propeller rotating counter clockwise, then there is no critical engine, because both down going blades of the propeller produces a thrust line both equal in distance from the center of the fuselage.
