Lockheed Martin’s LM-100J commercial freighter—the civilian variant of the C-130J Super Hercules—received its FAA type design update certification on Friday. The LM-100J is a modernized version of the company’s C-130-based L-100 freighter, of which more than 100 were produced between 1964 and 1992. Upgrades to the LM-100J include better fuel efficiency, improved payload and range, automated maintenance fault reporting and an integrated Head-Up Display (HUD).
