FIELD: aeronautical engineering; devices for filling the tanks of fire aeroplanes. SUBSTANCE: water-loading device has water duct provided with intake branch pipe 1 and discharge branch pipe 3, water scoop 3 and mechanism 4 for motion of water scoop. Water scoop 3 is formed by two side members and cylindrical surface at arc of (90+γ+1)where γis angle of longitudinal deadrise of bottom before planing step. Water scoop 3 is mounted after planing step in shaded zone on axle secured in parallel with lower edge of planing step 6 at angle of (2+1) deg in vertical rolling plane of aircraft. EFFECT: improved service characteristics through intensification of water intake and prevention of damage to water scoop in case of collision with solid floating objects. 6 cl, 4 dwg |
