C-130 Hercules is being used by Lockheed Martin for plantation, this aircraft was previously used as land mine dropper. The idea of UK RAF pilot Jack Walters have come into reality by military innovation company, who have managed to turn this 25 year old idea possible.
Every aircraft is equipped with all the required tools for plantation and with this each one can plant 900,000 trees in a day. The altitude at which they ll fly is about 1,000 ft at 130 knots, using the same method they ll be able to plant 3000 cones in a minute. It can't be left out without mentioning that each cone hits the soil hard enough to bury itself into the ground. The casing of the tree bombs will dissolve itself and trees will take root, therefore providing all the necessities required for plantation and growth of the tree. At present, 2500 C-130 planes are unused in 70 countries ready for plantation and solving the problem of deforestation.
