Hawaii Mars demo at Air Venture, July 27
Comments
What is the overall length of the Mars?
Length is 118 wingspan 200
What amount of water does it carry??
7200 gallons/27000 liters
So, Sam, how does it reload? Surely not a "running" fill up?
I was wondering the same.
They open the scoops on the bottom of fuselage and water goes into tanks as it moves along the water.
A lot bigger than a Canadair CL-415. WoW !
From wikipedia:
"The conversion [of the Mars to a fire tanker] involved the installation of a tank in the cargo bay and retractable pick-up scoops to allow uploading of water while the aircraft was taxiing. The scoops allowed 30 tons of water to be taken on board in 22 seconds."
Wow...

Wow, that is a lot of water. That is like 1.4 Tons per second!
