The C-130J once had 8 blade contra-rotating propellers; are they no longer used?
thanks, Bob

bob-designer I found the following in.....
http://www.theaviationzone.com
Engines - The C-130J is equipped with four Allison AE2100D3 turboprop engines each rated at 4,591 shaft horsepower (3,425 kW). The all-composite six-blade R391 propeller system was developed by Dowty Aerospace. The engines are equipped with full authority digital electronic control (FADEC) by Lucas Aerospace. An automatic thrust control system (ATCS) optimizes the balance of power on the engines allowing lower values of minimum control speeds and superior short-airfield performance.
I don't think the C-130 ever had contra rotating props
Cormaster as to the specs of the cannon ....highly classified especially to TANK BUILDERS ??????

Not really associated with AERO-SPACE, although i did a lot of low flying on my BMW R100RS.....
I have always wanted to model my old BM but have never gotten very far before becoming discouraged or daunted ..... now i am determined to give it another go....

A-6 Intruder - naval jet - the clue is in the images' title... and there are few jets with such a set-back to their tail fin...
@unknownuser said:The A-6 Intruder was an all-weather, two seat, subsonic, carrier-based attack aircraft. The subsonic A-6 has no spectacular performance or design features but is superbly suited to the particular attack role for which it so carefully tailored. Designed in the late 1950’s, the A-6 prototype made its first test flight in April 1960.
It served as the Navy’s medium-attack mainstay during three decades of conflict, crisis and cold war. The aircraft’s ruggedness and all-weather mission capability made it an awesome asset to Navy and Marine Corps air wings throughout its lifespan. Built by the legendary Grumman "Ironworks," 687 production attack Intruders were accepted by the Navy. A testament to the aircraft’s versatility and longevity was the myriad upgrades and technological enhancements that kept it the world’s premier long-range, all-weather attack aircraft for over 30 years.
A tough and versatile aircraft, the A-6 was called upon to fly the most difficult missions. Its forte was to fly low and alone—in any weather. The all-weather attack jet has seen action in every conflict the US has been involved in since Vietnam. With the ability to carry more ordnance, launch a wider variety of space-age smart weapons, conduct day or night strikes over greater distances on internal fuel than any carrier borne aircraft before or since, and provide mid-air refueling support to other carrier jets, the Intruder represents the most versatile military aircraft in modern times.

Now Tig and you other guys reading the image label is not really fair play..... so no cigars today
Note to Dolphus "change labeling system!!!!
Ps thanks for the comment -
...the clue is in the images' title... and there are few jets with such a set-back to their tail-fin... It was an easy 'spot' really since I think it's the only jet with a tail-fin like that ? I decided what it was... then I noticed the image's title...
