Take a look at what is happening across the globe
Property damaged, dangerous smoke being inhaled, wildlife killed and displaced
Is this the future we want to live in?
"The 2022 wildfire season has pushed our capabilities to our limits",
"As climate change increases the destruction of these fires, we are getting more and more desperate for innovative solutions",
"The market for
initial attack aviation is empty"
In this market, Canadair makes the most reliable and widespread solution. Picutured below is a CL-415 dropping 1,600 Gallons of water.
The faster these drones can provide an initial attack on a wildfire, the less likely it will grow.
Harboring the planes closer to at risk areas before the fire starts provides the fleet a head-start on the fire.
With a shorter scooping path, the drones will be able to pick up water closer to the fire compared to traditional methods.
The number of drones can scale to fit the need of the area while maintaining efficiency and effectiveness.
Our prototype plane is designed to be a low-cost, lightweight aircraft for research and development purposes. We have shifted our current focus to a group of smaller planes that we can build quickly to test fast and in parallel with the controls software development.
Our company plans to work our way up to designing and building a full scale wildfire drone
Our first home-built plane, was designed to carry 5 gallons of water. Our plan is to rebuild this model with the new things we have learned building the smaller planes
Our imagined goal is to have fleet of planes that can carry 100-150 gallons of water each. To get to this point we have to start small and emphasize safety and reliability.
