FIRE BOMBING AND FIRE BOMBERS

摘要

ABSTRACTA fire bomber aircraft has an elongated discharge chutewhich communicates with the outlet opening of liquid tank and adischarge end disposed a substantial distance below the input end.The discharge end opens from the aircraft to atmosphere such thatupon movement of the closure door of the drop tank to an openposition, liquid will flow through the outlet opening to form afalling stream which will accelerate to a substantial velocitybefore it is discharged through the discharge end to the surroundingatmosphere to thereby reduce the erosion of the body of liquid whichis discharged.-14 -
