Recently, Newton Design was awarded a contract to relocate and upgrade two previously existing C-130 Fuselage Trainers at Little Rock AFB. In late July, we performed the relocation of the first FuT. The relocation is shown in the photos below. The photos show various phases of the move and reinstallation. This was a relatively short distance move, approximately 1 mile, from one Little Rock AFB facility building to another. The move presented some challenges however, as the trainer was manufactured and installed approximately 20 years ago by another supplier. This trainer did not utilize a donor aircraft fuselage as the basis for the design, it is completely simulated/manufactured and was initially designed to be transported and installed in two large pieces. As you can see in the photos, we developed a method to relocate the trainer as a whole rather than partially dismantling/reassembling it. Great job Newton Design engineering and relocation teams!
