Jet powered c-130 idea

[coolpop6307]

I had another idea....what about a-10 engines underneath it? Would it work? How many would you need?

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? Okay. I think about 6 but of course 8 would be better using the Tim The Toolman Calculator. If you run out of wing there is always that big tail to hang some on.

4 X CFM -56s? Might be a tad OVER powered but, I guess the engines might be de-rated? I'm going to use a wing/engine set salvaged from a KC-135. Problem is , I might have to give it a new set of tail feathers?? A swept wing with that C-130 tail would, in my view anyway, look just a bit odd! . I'd sort of considered using the KC-135 tailplanes with a fin/rudder at the end of each.

I'm certainly NOT going down the road of one of the stretched Herks!! Too much work! (and, I'm too lazy!!)
