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

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.

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)

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.
