How many anchor line cables are there in a C-130 Hercules?

In a C-130 Hercules, there are four anchor line cables. These cables are an essential part of the aircraft's air delivery system and are used to secure the parachutists during a jump. Each anchor line cable is attached to the aircraft’s floor and provides a reliable point for the paratroopers to hook their harnesses, ensuring a safe and organized exit from the aircraft.

The number of anchor line cables is designed to accommodate the maximum capacity of parachutists that the C-130 can carry while maintaining safety and efficiency during jumps. This configuration helps manage the layout of the jumpers within the aircraft, facilitating an orderly deployment of troops and cargo during airborne operations.
