METHOD FOR MIXING FIRE FIGHTING GEL IN SITU WITHIN A WATER TANK OF A FIRE FIGHTING AIRCRAFT, AND A FIRE FIGHTING AIRCRAFT MODIFIED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TEACHINGS OF THE METHOD

摘要

A method for mixing fire fighting gel in situ within a water tank of a fire fighting aircraft. A first step involves mounting a chemical tank to a fire fighting aircraft having a water tank. A second step involves injecting gel forming chemical from the chemical tank into a turbulent flow of water entering the water tank of the aircraft to achieve a required ratio of gel forming chemical and water, with the turbulent flow of water serving to mix the gel forming chemical with the water.
