A TWIN TURBINE ENGINE, AMPHIBIOUS MULTI-PURPOSE AIRCRAFT,
MAINLY OPERATED FOR THE CONTROL OF WILD FIRES.
CL215 and CL415 Super-Scoopers
We use modern firefighting amphibious aircrafts
CL215 and CL415 have an updated cockpit, aerodynamics enhancements and changes to the water-release system, creating a modern firefighting amphibious aircraft for use in detecting and suppressing forest fires.
CL215 and CL415 can scoop up to 6,140 litres (1,350 imp gal; 1,620 US gal) of water from a nearby water source, mix it with a chemical foam if desired, and drop it on a fire without having to return to base to refill its tanks.
CL215 and CL415 are specifically developed to provide the capability to deliver large quantities of suppressant in quick response to fires.
Extraordinary reliability of operation
The aircraft requires 1,340 m of flyable length to descend on the water surface, scoop more than 6.000 liters of water during a twelve second run and then climb back to a safety altitude.
The aircraft is also capable also pick up partial loads in smaller areas and can turn on water while scooping, if necessary.
