Canadair CL-215
Canadair CL-215 The Canadair CL215 (Scooper) was the first model in a series of firefighting aircraft built by Canadair and later Bombardier. • Amphibious aircraft • A twin-engine • High-wing aircraft • Do well at low speeds and in gust-loading circumstances • Be able to land and take off from short, unpaved airstrips http://www.icepilots.com/fleet_cl215.php Design and development • The CL-215 can be traced back to early projects by Canadair, the CL-43 and CL204. • The CL-43 was conceived as a logistics aircraft . • The CL-204, was a water bomber . • The CL-215 received a program go-ahead in February 1966 with its maiden flight on October 23 1967. How it works • When the fire emergence happens, it takes off. • Founding a suitable "scooping" lake close to the forest fire as possible. • The aircraft touches down on the lake and scoops 12000 lbs of water into the internal tanks within ten seconds. • At last it flies to the fire point. History • The CL-215 was designed as a specialist fire bomber, particularly suited to Canada and other heavily forested regions. • The CL-215 first flew on October 23 1967, and first delivery was to the French civil protection agency in June 1969. • Water tanks with fire suppressant tank at the rear. At the top of the tanks are funnels that spill excess water out of the aircraft. Dimensions General Cost Crew Approx. $35 million (Canada) 2 Passengers 8 / 30 with tanks removed Length 19.82m Height 8.98m Span 28.61m Wing area 100.33 sq m Cabin length 9.38m excluding cockpit Cabin width 2.39m maximum Cabin height 1.90m Cabin volume 35.6 cu m excluding cockpit Bombardier 415 • The Bombardier 415 Superscooper (for merly Canadair CL-415 Super Scooper) is a Canadian amphibious aircraft purposebuilt as a water bomber. Introduction • 1,340 metres (4,400 ft) of flyable area to descend from 15 metres (49 ft) altitude • scoop 6,140 litres of water during a 12second • 410 metres (1,350 ft) long run on the water at 70 knots (130 km/h; 81 mph) Operators • • • • • • • • • Canada Croatia France Greece 415MP) Italy Malaysia Morocco Spain United States 27 CL-415s 6 CL-415s 12 CL-415s 8 (7 CL-415GRs and 1 CL19 CL-415s Ordered two CL-415MP 6 CL-415s 3 CL-415s; 2 on order leases 4 CL-415s World operators of the Bombardier 415 Conclusion • Canadair CL-215 or Bombardier 415 can decrease the loss of a fire in the forest, so we can see the importance of this type of aircraft when the emergence happens. • The aircrafts that we mentioned are showing us how Canada develops and how the whole world develops. •Thanks for the patience for watching.
