Tata Lockheed Martin Aerostructures (TLMAL) on Wednesday said it recently delivered the 150th C-130J Super Hercules empennage from its manufacturing facility located in Adibatla, Hyderabad.
A joint venture between Tata Advanced Systems and Lockheed Martin Aeronautics, the firm said it exemplifies the ‘Make in India’ goals and remains the single global source of the C-130J empennage assemblies installed on the Super Hercules aircraft produced in Marietta, Georgia, U.S.
“Many people, thousands of hours and massive amounts of commitment helped the TLMAL team reach this milestone,” COO Kiran Dambala said. TLMAL employs close to 700 people. The empennage assemblies produced by the firm include the aircraft’s horizontal and vertical stabilizers along with leading edges and tip assemblies. Previously, it also manufactured sets of C-130J centre wing box components and introduced a cutting-edge 4,700 square-meter metal-to-metal bonding facility in May 2018.
