Rainier
Heli-Lift with STC for new carbon fire tank
- On June 15th 2007, after three years of design and development work,
Rainier Heli-Lift and Isolair Inc. received an STC for their new carbon
fiber fire-fighting fixed tank. Rainier, operating K-MAX N699RH, flew the
tank for the first time on November 16th 2006. Isolair Inc. the designer
and builder of the tank will also be building and selling additional tanks
to other K-MAX heavy-lift operators. The new 700-gallon carbon fiber tank
weighs less than 500 pounds and is powered by a 50-HP hydraulic pack that
pulls
power from an accessory pad off of the transmission. The tank is a two-piece
U-shaped tank design that keeps the weight high up on the airframe surrounding
the center of gravity of the aircraft.It takes two mechanics 2.5 hours
to remove the trolley system and attach the tank to the load-bearing beam.
This quick installation gives the K-MAX the flexibility to rapidly switch
from a long-line vertical reference heavy-lift platform to a tanked fire-fighting
machine. |
