2022年10月23日 · Designed and built by Canadair and later produced by Bombardier, the Canadair CL-215 "Scooper" is a flying boat water bomber used to fight forest fires. The origins of the Canadair CL-215 date back to the early 1960s when Canadair was looking to build a float plane to transport goods to remote areas.

The CL-215 was designed as a specialist firebomber, particularly suited to Canada and other heavily forested regions. The resulting amphibious aircraft is powered by two Pratt & Whitney R-2800 radials, and is capable of scooping up 5455 litres (1200Imp gal/1440US gal) of water in 12 seconds from a water source.

Both the CL-215 and CL-415 are Canadian aircraft built specifically for fire suppression and are known in the U.S. as Superscoopers. CL-215 and the Bombardier 415 are amphibious aircraft,...

2020年3月16日 · Case-in-point is the Canadair CL-215, a dedicated "amphibious" aircraft developed specifically (and from the outset) to combat forest fires by dropping vast amounts of water / fire-retarding solutions to contain spread.

The CL-215 is a Twin-engine, high-wing aircraft designed to operate well at low speeds and in gust-loading circumstances, as are found over forest fires. It is also able to land and take off from short, unpaved airstrips. Design and Development 2. The CL-215 can be traced back to two early projects by Canadair, the CL-43 and CL-204.
