ABSTRACT

Aircraft C-130 Hercules transport production is Lockheed Martin,

USA. One of the highlights to be analyzed on a C-130 Hercules aircraft
was wing who is one of the most important part in carrying out flight. With
an increasingly older age and the presence of increase doubler on aircraft
wing C-130 Hercules interesting to be investigated and analyzed in order
to achieve zero accident in the future.
The purpose of this thesis is to investigate and analyze the effect of
the aerodynamic characteristics of the lift coefficient and the coefficient of
drag that occurs in wing C-130 Hercules aircraft that have been in the
doubler.
Using software Gambit and Fluent through numerical simulations
can be seen that the result of the addition of the doubler to the wing lift
coefficient and the resulting lift force is reduced while the coefficient of
drag and drag increases. It is expected that the results of this research
can provide information to the operator (pilot) as a flying aircraft, maximum
and minimum take-off and landing with the changes occurring in the wing
aircraft to achieve zero accident.
