There is only one aircraft in the world that offers an 8-fold productivity advantage* over other medium-sized air platforms.

At an altitude of 50 m and a speed of 230 km/h, the aircraft can dump 8 tons of water to cover an area 35 m wide and 160 m long with a concentration of more than 1 l per square meter. The aircraft can operate from unpaved runways as it is equipped with robust landing gear with low-pressure tires and has high-mounted engines. The aircraft has 2 autonomous external extinguishing units that can be filled in 10-15 minutes to drop up to 8 tons of fire retardant. The aircraft is perfectly suited for rapid deployment operations, including parachuting up to 27 firefighters and 10 x 100 kg units of firefighting equipment.

Up to 6,700 kg of cargo can be loaded into the 66 m² cargo hold via the aircraft’s rear ramp. The aircraft’s multi-purpose cargo hold can even accommodate bulky cargo such as boats and small commercial vehicles, while the overhead crane has a load capacity of up to 3,000 kg. Thanks to the airtight cargo cabin and an on-board air conditioning system, the aircraft can be converted into an ambulance aircraft with space for up to 24 stretchers.

The cockpit is equipped with robust avionics and targeting optics that allow the crew to aim the fire during the approach for precise water delivery. The proven aircraft type offers high reliability and operational safety and enables flights worldwide at ambient air temperatures of up to + 55 ° C and an airfield altitude of up to 4,500 meters above sea level.
