There are provided helicopter attack systems. These systems can comprise an adjustable and/or controllable tank. In fact, the volume of the tank can be adjusted since it comprises an expandable skirt and an actuator for increasing or decreasing the distance between a bottom shell and an upper shell of the tank, thereby increasing or decreasing the tank capacity or internal volume.
A62C 3/02 - Fire prevention, containment or extinguishing specially adapted for particular objects or places for area conflagrations, e.g. forest fires, subterranean fires
A62C 35/02 - Permanently-installed equipment with containers for delivering the extinguishing substance
B64D 1/16 - Dropping or releasing powdered, liquid or gaseous matter, e.g. for fire-fighting
A fire suppression apparatus for fighting fires from a vehicle configured for flight is disclosed, comprising a foam and water held in separate containers aboard the vehicle that when mixed forms a fire retardant, a pump driven by an electric motor to pressurize the fire retardant, the pump including an air induction valve where air is drawn into a suction end of the pump and pressurized together with the fire retardant, and an aimable boom connected to the pump by a conduit, the boom including a nozzle on a distal end of the boom from which the pressurized fire retardant and air is dispensed toward a target.
A62C 3/02 - Fire prevention, containment or extinguishing specially adapted for particular objects or places for area conflagrations, e.g. forest fires, subterranean fires
A62C 5/02 - Making of fire-extinguishing materials immediately before use of foam
A62C 31/12 - Nozzles specially adapted for fire-extinguishing for delivering foam or atomized foam
A62C 31/24 - Nozzles specially adapted for fire-extinguishing attached to ladders, poles, towers, or other structures with or without rotary heads
B64D 1/16 - Dropping or releasing powdered, liquid or gaseous matter, e.g. for fire-fighting
B64D 1/18 - Dropping or releasing powdered, liquid or gaseous matter, e.g. for fire-fighting by spraying, e.g. insecticides
An embodiment of a fire suppression apparatus for fighting fires from an aerial vehicle is disclosed having a foam and water held in separate containers that when mixed forms a fire retardant in the separate water container, a pump driven by a first electric motor, the pump including an air induction valve positioned at the pump inlet where air and the fire retardant are drawn into the inlet and pressurized simultaneously by the pump, a primer pump driven by a second electric motor to prime the inlet with the fire retardant before starting the pump, an inverter to control startup of the first electric motor, and an aimable boom connected to the pump by a conduit, the boom including a nozzle on a distal end of the boom from which the pressurized water/foam/air fire retardant is dispensed toward a target. Vertical mount plates can attach the apparatus to opposite sides of the helicopter.
