Stretched Herc J weights?
 

Can anyone supply an unclass but official figure for the C.Mk 4's Basic empty weight and Maximum take-off weight

I have the C.Mk 1 figures as:

Basic empty weight 83,000 lb (38,000 kg)
Maximum take-off weight 155,000 lb (70,306 kg)
Overload 175,000 lb (79,378 kg)


And a payload figure for both types, perhaps?

Jackonicko,

I believe the MK4's range from 39700kgs to 40992kgs as a basic empty weight. Each frame is a different weight.

MTOW is 70310kgs.

I think the figures quoted at the start of the thread might be for a C Mk 3. The Mk 1 started life about 5k lighter. (5k being the weight of the plugs used to stretch it to a Mk 3). However, with the bells and whistles on the few remaing Mk1's they may indeed be at that weight now. If I'm wrong, be gentle withy me...

Some interesting suppositions here .... never let the truth get in the way of a good story

Maximum Payload weight of 41,000lbs. Perhaps, but with zero range!!!!!!

Spymovs, sorry if I offended you. :rolleyes:

It would be pretty good once you put some fuel in it though :rolleyes:

Specific numbers are out there, but basic figures are 40t basic and 70.3t MTOW. That means 30t to play with. 41k lbs down the back is about 18.5t, so 11.5t of fuel, of which some will be wing relieving. Dont have the books in front of me but you should get at least a couple of hours flying out of it.

Hardly zero range!

(I think USAF fly different weights by the way, higher MTOW so even more range or more weight)

hudjunkie - I dodged it like a good 'un. Obviously.
Why do work when you can do no work instead? I like to follow your example....

I seem to recall the max payload actually being higher than the above mentioned figure, somewhere around 56,000lb nominal. But operational restrictions reduced it dramaticly.
