THE BATTALION
Air Force Sophomores Tour
Georgia Aircraft Installation ■
By ROBERT SOLOVEY
Battalion Staff Writer
The sight of “a ship with
wings,” a . mock-up of the
planned C5A transport plane,
highlighted a recent tour of the
Lockheed-Georgia Co. by eleven
Air Force cadets.
Cadets included Dennis S.
Bailey, Rodger L. Collins, Jimmy
L. Daniel, Howard Kaffenburger,
Richard A. Pazderski, Kenneth
W. Pollard, Samuel Smith, Rob
ert J. Solovey, James Stutler,
Leon E. Travis III, and Burl E.
Glass III.
The Air Force-ordered C5A air
craft will be the world’s largest
transport when it is delivered in
June, 1969.
BOTH IN SIZE and cargo life
capability, it will more than
double any aircraft in present
operation.
Leaving Easterwood Airport
last week, the C-47 “Gooneybird”
was piloted by Lt. Col. Philip B.
Hopkins and Capt. Deward John
son, who literally “played the
weather by ear.”
The officers brought the plane
through a narrow air lane, with
thunderhowers on either side, to
land safely at Dobbins AFB,
Ga.
Lockheed is an integral part of
the base, which houses both Air
Force and Naval aircraft and is
the testing and delivery point for
Lockheed-Gcorgia built planes.
The cadets received a special
tour of plant facilities and brief
ings by Lockheed’s top executives,
planned by the Lockheed Cus
tomer Relations division and Lt.
Col. Thomas Hines.
Personally guided throughout
the day by Director of Customer
Relations John Foss, the ROTC
sophomores were briefed on Lock
heed’s production aircraft.
The capabilities of Lockheed’s
C-140 Jetstar, C-130 Hercules,
vertical takeoff aircraft (VTOL),
the C-141 Starlifter and the C5A
transport were all described and
supplemented by slides and films.
The $1.7 million Jetstar is a
nine passenger, 550 miles per
hour, 2,250 mile range plane.
ITS BEST potential appears
to be for large corporations, but
Lockheed is also negotiating with
the Army and the Air Force.
The C-130 Hercules is best
known for its capability to land
on any terrain.
It can lift 17 tons of cargo
about 500 miles and land with
only 1,500 feet of runway.
The C-130 has been the work
horse for the Air Force in the
past and in the future it will be
used even more when the giant
cargo loads of the C5A are broken
down into more usable quantities.
A program is under way to
build a C-130J, which could land
in a foot of mud, a field with
10 inch high bumps or holes or
land on skis for Antarctic opera
tions.
IT CAN take off in 600 feet
of runway, which makes it un
paralleled for forward combat
supply, such as on the front lines
in Viet Nam.
The VTOL aircraft is under
development with tight security.
The plane is able to hover as a
helicopter or fly forward by
changing the angle of its wings
while in flight.
VTOL has experienced several
problems which has kept the cost
of operation high and also kept
it out of the current Air Force
inventory.
Numerous power plants and
various arrangements have been
tried but VTOL aircraft are still
unstable and difficult to ma
neuver.
Present engines take up so
much space there is little room
left for cargo and so it remains
virtually useless as a transport
system at this time.
The C-141 is the Air Force’s
best transport to date, and the
Air Force had a ceremony at
Lockheed to celebrate the 100th
such aircraft to be delivered.
Similar in appearance to a
commercial jet airliner, it has
doubled the capacity of the C-130.
The cadets also toured several
ultramodern buildings housing
Lockheed’s research and develop
ment center.
AEROSPACE and mechanical
engineers design aircraft by
using highly sophisticated com
puter equipment. The plan for
a part is drawn electronically on
an oscilloscope screen and the
shape is fed into a computer. The
machines which produce the part
are run by computer tape.
It takes hundreds of men less,
requires fewer hours, and is ex
tremely accurate.
After touring the flight line
and eating lunch, the cadets were
shown the aircraft assembly line.
From walkways high above the
floor, cadets saw a room 2,500
feet long and 1,200 feet wide, the
largest building of its type in the
world.
Some aircraft were nothing but
steel skeletons, without wings,
engines, wheels or instrumenta
tion.
Thousands of wires, bolts and
tons of metal are fitted together
with extreme accuracy. One C-141
is completed every three days.
Later, on the main floor, the
cadets boarded almost completed
aircraft to watch some of the
actual construction.
The Aggies were surprised to
find many women working in the
plant. Women normally wire the
plane’s electrical system.
The our ended when cadets
were shown the mock-up of the
C5A transport.
The plane is being built of
wood to establish its actual ap
pearance.
THE PLANE is 242 feet long
and 63 feet high, with a wing
span of 222 feet.
The landing gear includes 28
wheels to support a mission
weight of more than 375 tons. It
will carry 49,000 gallons of jet
fuel.
The C5A will be able to trans
port 110 tons of cargo, 80
passengers and 12 crew members
up to 5,500 miles.
One cadet termed it the “Noah’s
Ark of the Air,” and even the
officers jokingly bet it would
never fly.
Foss assured them it would,
and said it was just a “baby”
compared to designs for later
transports.
Equipped for commercial air
lines, the C5A could carry 900
passengers.
The roof of the building will
not be high enough when con
struction starts on the C5A, and
Foss said a movable building will
be added to the outside of the
building.
The plane will be built back
wards so the tail assembly can
be added last.
On the return trip to A&M,
each cadet was given an oppor
tunity to fly the C-47 while John
son explained the instrumenta
tion.
Hines had complete faith in the
cadets . . . and tightened his seat
belt.
