747 Aerial Fire Fighting

We have used many types of aircraft to fight fires, helicopters, vintage aircraft WII and we will now try the 747, it is entitled Jumbo Jet? Wow, this will be something. I definitely will not try something Airbus A380 with a new wing tip vortices "trench digger" as the wingtips hang past the runway width. We saw in the news and aviation magazines lately that Schlumberger will use 747s to do? This article not only piqued my Curiosità, but also many other types of airman. This is the most interesting ideas submitted by Schlumberger. Using 747-which can certainly haul cargo, and the flaps and slats down to the serious stuff to slow to 190 knots release 1 / 3 of cargo and returned twice more, and it certainly. And talk about carrying capacity, more than a B-52. Now that would actually be interesting to watch and a lot safer since World War II vintage B-17, which should nearly 100 passes to do the same.

It might take some time to complete the 747, such as 4 hours and you should be dead center on fire, but a drop in front of the fire and no fuel will be burned this way. Of course, there are environmental issues with so much material. If you miss, it would be a great thing, and too expensive, but if you had the right of the pilot, it could work. Proof of concept will be the most fascinating and, of course, a way to slow the aircraft about 110 nodes will also be pretty good, all this can actually be done through modification. I imagine that many of these aircraft were parked in the desert in Tucson, you probably could not shut down the entire volcano? If you could just fly through the ashes without all four engines quit?

When you put these things in 747 capable of flying itself with zero / zero visibility you could actually have a giant fire yourself UAV, robotic, a gigantic aircraft. Robotics come very quickly, and today is practically alone aircraft can fly in zero / zero visibility. Fly right through the smoke. The fact is that things get better and better and we are able to align the satellite with a laser and get better soon accuracy you can count on a perfect landing, there is no need for pilots. Auto mated fire from the air Jumbo Jet Fire, film at 11:00. It is entirely possible to add some of the latest technology in our aircraft fire efforts. Sounds like science fiction, but it will not be long now, think about it
