  1. Canadair CL-215 TheCanadair CL-215(Scooper) was the first model in a series of firefighting aircraftbuilt byCanadairand laterBombardier.

  2. 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 http://www.icepilots.com/fleet_cl215.php

  3. Design and development • The CL-215 can be traced back to early projects by Canadair, the CL-43 and CL-204. • The CL-43 was conceived as a logistics aircraft . • TheCL-204, was a water bomber. • The CL-215 received a program go-ahead in February 1966 with itsmaiden flighton October 23 1967.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. Dimensions General

  8. Bombardier 415 • TheBombardier415Superscooper(formerlyCanadairCL-415 Super Scooper) is aCanadianamphibious aircraft purpose-built as awater bomber.

  9. Introduction • 1,340 metres (4,400ft) of flyable area to descend from 15 metres (49ft) altitude • scoop 6,140 litres of water during a 12-second • 410 metres (1,350ft) long run on the water at 70 knots (130km/h; 81mph)

  10. Operators • Canada 27 CL-415s • Croatia 6 CL-415s • France 12 CL-415s • Greece 8 (7 CL-415GRs and 1 CL-415MP) • Italy 19 CL-415s • Malaysia Ordered two CL-415MP • Morocco 6 CL-415s • Spain 3 CL-415s; 2 on order • United States leases 4 CL-415s

  11. World operators of the Bombardier 415

  12. 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.

  13. Thanks for the patience for watching.
