when A C 130 is flying low and dropping tanks out the back, how do they handle the rapid shift in center of gravity?
Dumping 3,000lbs worth of jumpers out of a caravan doesn't really cause much of a issue, I'd imagine the C130 would be similar just scaled up.
Maybe some sort off counter weight on rollers that goes the opposite direction when large amounts of weight go back?

I would imagine through the use of their biofeedback controls pushing then pulling on the yoke.
Are you yoking or being serious?
I imagine Henning....biofeedback contemplating use of jet a...wtf am I doing here....superpowers getting richer while I'm at the controls, society should have taken a different path.......
CFIT INTO THE GROUND......
Kidding Henning...
It means you use your eyeballs to judge your AOA and use your arms to work the yoke.
The remaining passengers all jump at the same time the load is dumped. The loadmaster coordinates this. This is how they did it at moody
Do you stage them at the front to use the reaction of their down force, or in the back for the relief?
I remember the loadmaster making us scuttle butt to the front. Weird way to do things but it worked I guess
