Aircraft fire fighting water bomb comprises chassis and flexible water tank on which actuators exert pressure

摘要

The water bomb is formed by a chassis (4) and a flexible water tank (3) fixed inside the cabin by instantaneously unlockable fixings (7). A pressure (P) is exerted on the tank by actuators (8) supported on the chassis so that the water load remains locked in position and cannot move during transport whilst the expulsion hatch is closed. The pressure pushes the water though its opening when the evacuation hatch is opened.
