The Coolest Cargo Planes in the World

Lockheed Martin LM-100J

Lockheed Martin’s website makes the bold claim that the LM-100J is “ready to carry whatever the future holds,” and they aren’t kidding. I mean, they don’t call this plane the Super Hercules for nothing!

The LM-100J owes much of its construction to its military predecessor, the C-130 Hercules transport aircraft. This new version has been updated to accommodate the transport of oversized cargo and its truck-bed height loading bay makes loading and unloading the airplane quick and easy. But it does more than just transport oversized goods too. Lockheed Martin designed the Hercules with aerial fire fighting, humanitarian relief operations, and air ambulance duties in mind.

As you could imagine, the LM-100J’s first flight (in May of 2017) was highly celebrated. It’s safe to say that this freighter is ready to revolutionize the sky.
