I was told that the Army was given the dimensions of the C-130 cabin and they passed that on to those who chose to compete on the UTTAS competition. What was not passed on was the fact that most of the Air Forces C-130's had been outfitted with the equipment used for extraction of cargo by parachute. That raised the actual floor enough that no UTTAS aircraft would fit.
