Because the plane was designed to be flexible it can be used in many different ways, for many different purposes. The C-130 Hercules suffered a lot of change and one of them was the military equipment added which can be very easy to remove making the delivery of cargo much more easy than before. Aside from this the aircraft has the possibility to adapt to different types of cargo such as: floor loaded material, platform for air drop, a container delivery system bundles, evacuation for vehicles and personnel and palletized equipment.

The last model added to the C-130 is the C-130J, an aircraft which will be replacing the old C-130E. The new C-130 Hercules is equipped with the latest technology which means that the manpower necessary is considerably reduced, the costs for operating and supporting the plane are generously reduced. The major difference between the new C-130 Hercules and the others from the same family is the fact that they can climb faster and higher than before and they can take off and land on shorter distances.

The C-130J/J-30 has some great improvements as far as the system is concerned and here are some of the changes brought:

• advanced two pilot flight station with integrated digital avionics
• displays that have color multifunctional liquid crystal
• head up displays
• an amazing navigation system with dual inertial navigation system
• a fully integrated defensive system
• low-power color radar
• improved fuel, environmental and ice protection systems
• enhanced cargo handling system
• low power color radar

Since the Air Force was launched four decades have past but the C-130 Hercules is still in production which proves to us that this model was and is an amazing invention which continues to be of help to the military. The aircraft has suffered some modification over the years only to keep the step with the new technology and demands that have appeared in this modern world which is constantly changing.

In order to make the aircraft more efficient the architecture is completely electric, no more traditional hydraulic power sources which means that the pneumatics are gone. To improve the ride during turbulence’s an active gust alleviation system has been implemented in the aircraft.

The unusual thing about this model is that it was not built completely, from top to bottom, by the Boeing Company. Almost all of the components were manufactured in different places in the world and assembled in one place. From what we know the central wing box was made in Japan, the horizontal stabilizers were manufactured in Italy, from France was ordered the landing gear, from Sweden the Boeing Company ordered the crew escape doors and last but not least from India the company ordered the floor beams. It took a lot of people to assemble the Boeing 787 Dreamliner about 1.200 employees to be exact.

The first attempt to launch the Boeing 787 Dreamliner was in the summer of 2007. The launch did not take place because the employees did not manage to install the system on the plane. Since then the company announced delay after delay until June 2009 when they announced that they were going to make the big launch in Paris at the Paris Air show. What they planned did not match with reality because the manufacturer did not manage to keep his word.

This is the latest model the Boeing 787 Dreamliner which was assembled by the Boeing Company. It is a very modern and powerful aircraft which means that it gets all passengers on time and most of all in one piece. The company finally managed to launch the plane after a lot of attempts and it received a lot of positive reviews. It is strange that a Boeing plane was not made with parts coming from the company but with components coming from all corners of the world. The manufacturer made once again a step towards the modern world.

First we are going to talk about the jobs in aviation. According to a famous magazine last year the profits of the aviation industry were around 9 billion $ which means that it needs a lot of jobs thus the rich job offers. When you are working in this industry you are working for travel companies, the government or airlines.

Now we are going to talk about how we can get a job in aviation. If you did not know by now we are telling you that there are websites specially dedicated to aviation jobs, here are some examples: BestAviationJobs.net, AllAviationSites.com or PlaneTechs.com. All these websites offer different jobs in the industry from pilot to engineers.

If you want to become a pilot we have good news for you, there is a constant need for pilots and engineers because people have started to use more and more the airlines for travel. Because there is this constant need for traveling by air this will create more and more jobs in the industry.

Las but not least we are going to talk about air traffic controllers. If you want to be an air traffic controller in the US you are going to be working for the National Airspace System which a network interested in keeping everything safe for both national and private aircraft’s. Even though the industry is expanding the need for this position will not increase because the number of air traffic controllers is not determined according to the number or airlines or aircraft’s which means that the only chance you will have on getting this job will be in someone retires or leaves their position.

What we have presented here are the best aviation jobs you can have in the aviation industry. If you want to get either one of these jobs you have to be very well prepared and determined.

The Boeing Company wanted to regain its position on the market after the Second World War so it took the best engineers and business men and started working. It started with the launch of the Boeing 367-80 which they made very famous, the aircraft is also known now under the name of “Dash-80″. The plane first flew in 1954 and since then the company has upgraded it and improved it in order to keep up with the technology.

The biggest achievement the Boeing Company has ever had was winning the contract for manufacturing 800 KC-135 tankers. We say that is was a big achievement because with the money that company made it achieved to pay out its debts and start building new aircrafts.  The other airline companies were very pleased with the Boeing’s 367-80 but the big orders started to pour at the Boeing 707 model because it had a capacity of 143 passengers and great speed, its top speed was 600 miles per hour.

The Boeing 707 continues to develop and change since them mainly because airlines wanted it and because it was in direct competition with Douglas DC-8 airliner. The company tried to make an up to date aircraft every time new technology was introduced on the market.

One thing that the Boeing Company managed to do with the Boeing 707 was introduce people to international traveling at low costs. It transported millions of people, ordinary people, from one place to another at very low costs. It gave the USA the lead in the aircraft industry.

Today it is still used for the same reasons: because it is efficient, you can travel at low costs and you benefit from the latest technology. Over the year the Boeing 707 has suffered a lot of modifications according to the demands of the airline companies or the technology of that time. What has not changed is the quality of the flight, it is always the best.

Now we are going to present to you the main specifications of the model:

Wingspan: 145 ft. 9 in.

Length: 152 ft. 11 in.

Height: 42 ft. 5 in.

Empty Weight: 146,000 lbs

Gross Weight: 333,600 lbs

Top Speed: 627 mph

Because the A330-200 is a modern plane the passengers can enjoy all the latest entertainment options, they can use the mobile phone and send e-mails through the satellite. Another great thing about this plane is the extra storage space for the luggage, it has a larger capacity under the floor.

This model has become very popular all around the world. The demand for this plane has increased greatly for leisure or charter use, also for the low cost segment. Today, the goal of the Airbus Company is to convince people that the A330-200 brings a lot of advantages to any type of flight. Who would not want the possibility to fly in a safe plane, with large windows and only one aisle.

What the Airbus Company is trying to do is create a plane that can be built with low costs but investing in the operation system. For the A330-200 a lot of improvements and upgrades have been brought to the operation system. Other improvements can be seen at the engine which has suffered a major upgrade and the advanced navigation aids. The manufacturer has also brought some improvements in the interior of the plane. The passengers can enjoy the new interior style, with smoother counters, LED lighting and a new style.

The A330-200 has the capacity to take off with a maximum weight of 238 tones which is a great improvement. Because of this the aircraft can endure 7,250 nautical miles and can add an additional 3.4 tones of payload.

This is the new aircraft presented by Airbus the A330-200 which has become very popular in the industry. This is surely just the beginning of the improvements and the upgrades that the company will bring to its next planes. For now it is a perfect plane if you do not know crowded planes and you like to enjoy a nice quiet trip.
