C-130 Speeds

[kokpit]

Can anyone help resolve a 'work discussion' regarding landing and take-off speeds for a C-130 please?

Stall speed of a C-130J is listed by LM Aero as 100 kts, and I believe Vso is typically 1.3 that, ie 130 kts.

So, what typically might be the landing and take-off speeds of a C-130, and would these differ much between models?

I imagine AUW plays a large part, but if someone could offer 'ball park figures' it would be much appreciated, I might even get a beer out of it

Thanks and regards,

Rotate speed between 93 - 123 kts on average depending on weight, temperature and elevation.

Landing speeds about 100 to 160 kts depending on flap settings and weights.

In addition, if you feel sporty, when operating to Military Standards the Vr can be as low as 75 kts for the short body J. The speeds do not vary much by model except that the long ac has a bit higher military Vr.

For a second there, I thought this was an Oxymoron thread!
