El uso de las aeronaves como medio anti-incendios
Resumen de entradas sobre el nacimiento de los medios aéreos anti incendios:
Tres artículos sobre el nacimiento del helicóptero bombero:
En cuanto aviones hay dos filosofías
- Aviones terrestres, ¿Cómo nacieron los aviones apagafuegos con base en tierra?
- Hidroaviones, ¿Cómo nacieron los hidroaviones apagafuegos?
El hidroavión más conocido en España es el de Canadair, el primer avión diseñado específicamente como avión anti incendios, esta es la historia de su desarrollo, y así es por dentro, más en detalle
Y no deberíais dejar pasar la oportunidad de escuchar en podcast la entrevista a un ex piloto del 43 Grupo.
En cuanto a los últimos desarrollos, tal vez el más sorprendente es el AG600M de origen chino, con capacidad de carga de 12 toneladas de agua, y que se espera que entre en servicio en breve.
Otros desarrollos son el de Embraer para convertir su C-390, y el de Airbus con su A400M, el de Embraer es un sistema MAFFS como el montado por los Hércules, mientras que el del A400M presenta algunas diferencias.
En cuanto a helicópteros, tal vez el desarrollo más peculiar sea el de Coulson y su Chinook, que puede cargar casi el doble que el Canadair CL215T/415, especialmente porque pretenden utilizarlo en operaciones nocturnas, o los desarrollos no tripulados de Erickson.
Sea como sea, esperamos que este verano no tengan que ser los protagonistas de muchas noticias.

On August 1, 2023, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) completed multiple successful takeoffs and landings with its Mojave Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) on a dirt strip near El Mirage, Calif.
The ability to take off and land on unimproved surfaces demonstrates Mojave’s departure from traditional fixed-wing aircraft’s dependance on prepared runways. This new capability provides greater versatility and allows the aircraft to operate in areas previously deemed unsuitable for UAS operations.
