De Havilland makes firefighting aircraft designed to deliver water drops at a rapid rate, and can be refilled in 12 seconds by scooping up water from nearby natural water sources.
Originally built by Canadair, the Canadair CL-415 is one of a series of amphibious aircraft designed to fight wildfires from above. The CL-415 is no longer in production. But De Havilland Aircraft of Canada is presently manufacturing similar aircraft under the name DHC-515, with expected delivery to several European Union countries by 2025. The aircraft is designed to deliver drops at a rapid rate, suppressing fires more quickly. This allows it to deliver a higher daily amount of water into a fire-zone compared to similar technologies. Tanks can be refilled in 12 seconds using water from nearby rivers, small lakes and oceans.
