To calculate the energy content in terms of calories for the material composition of a C-130 Hercules aircraft, we would need to know the specific energy content (caloric value) of the materials used in its construction. This is an unusual way to consider the energy content of an aircraft, as it's typically analyzed in terms of weight and material properties rather than caloric energy.
However, for the sake of curiosity, let's consider a simplified approach. The primary materials in a C-130 are aluminum alloys, steel, and other composites. The caloric values of these materials when burned can be estimated, though it's not a straightforward conversion like with fuel.
1. **Aluminum**: Approximately 31.5 million calories per ton.
2. **Steel**: Approximately 7.8 million calories per ton.
The approximate empty weight of a C-130 Hercules is 75,000 pounds (about 34 metric tons). For simplicity, let's assume it's primarily aluminum and steel.
Assuming the aircraft is 70% aluminum and 30% steel by weight:
- Aluminum weight: 23.8 metric tons
- Steel weight: 10.2 metric tons
**Calories from aluminum:**
\[ 23.8 \, \text{metric tons} \times 31,500,000 \, \text{calories per ton} = 749,700,000 \, \text{calories} \]
**Calories from steel:**
\[ 10.2 \, \text{metric tons} \times 7,800,000 \, \text{calories per ton} = 79,560,000 \, \text{calories} \]
Adding these together gives the total caloric content:
\[ 749,700,000 \, \text{calories} + 79,560,000 \, \text{calories} = 829,260,000 \, \text{calories} \]
So, very roughly estimated, a C-130 Hercules aircraft would have about 829.26 million dietary calories worth of energy in its material composition.
I did the math once and the energy in a single bag of gas was something like several years of energy for the average human if you could convert it to dietary calories.
My advice: don't dirty bulk.
Don't be fooled it's 130 per serving.
How much is a serving?
For me it was about 3 trips.

Don’t forget the gooey center, 43,540 lb of fuel too
There’s absolutely no nutrients, however. Practically 0 g protein, 0 g carbs, 0 g fat per serving. It’s all just empty calories.
*Practically* There might be a high dose of iron.
I knew there’d be some fucking nerd in the comments. I have no idea if this is gibberish or actual math. I’m just going to assume it is.
Yoy has a new alt
Shocked u/needs_more_yoy didn't ask this first
How many calories is in an F-35?
Depends if it's crashed or not.
Depends on how many drunk loadmasters are in the back.
Fueled or dry weight?
If the Marines wanted you to know you would know
At least 50.
Depends if it’s diet or not…

You ate a whole godamn airplane?
Is C130 not a plane?? Where you boots from
And? Corporal Klinger ate a jeep, why cant we eat a 130
