Numerical study of cargo bay turbulence of a transport aircraft
The Lockheed C-130 Hercules is arguably one of the most versatile fixed-wing transport aircraft available in any modern air force's arsenal. Besides transporting personnel, the Hercules may also take up goods and supplies for resupplement missions during peace and war times. In any case, mid-ai...
