This project develops a revolutionary scooping device for conventional airtankers, enabling them to collect water from low altitudes to combat forest fires more efficiently. The innovation aims to significantly increase water dropping capacity, reducing damage from wildfires.
The topic of this proposal is to determine the final production model of a scooping-device that allows non-amphibious conventional airtankers to scoop water from a body of water (sea, lake, river or a dam-reservoir) flying at an altitude of +/- 15 metres, in order to suppress forest fires much more quicker by 5 times.
Today only dedicated amphibious airtankers, like the so-called Canadairs CL 415, can scoop water.
Non-amphibious conventional airtankers have to return to the airport to refill wit…
