为什么我们使用AT-802F Fireboss
The aircraft has a good range and can drop up to 50,000 每小时的升水. As the aircraft can fill its tanks from lakes and rivers close to the fire even fires raging far away from airfields can be fought efficiently.
这也是一个成本效益问题. For the same purchase/operating costs of a larger aircraft many Fire Boss aircraft can be operated, thereby enabling greater capacity and operational flexibility per krona invested.
计算机控制水滴
空中拖拉机有一个独特的, computer controlled water release system called Fire Retardant Disparsal System (FRDS). This system offers a superior level of consistency, coverage and efficiency.
当drop被触发时, FRDS反应迅速, automatically opening and closing the fire gate doors with millisecond computer precision that delivers a reliably consistent coverage level. 因为FRDS自动化了许多计算和功能, 飞行员的注意力可以保持在应有的位置, 在具有挑战性的飞行条件下驾驶飞机.
