Gas powered water bucket carrying quadrotors are probably better at setting fires than putting them out.

Gas powered water bucket carrying quadrotors are probably better at setting fires than putting them out.
- ChuckMcM 14y agoWhat suggests they would be any worse than gas powered water tankers? My reasoning is that they would respond more rapidly to changes in atmospheric conditions. They have the advantage as well that if you lose one you don't lose multiple thousands of gallons of water/retardant capacity.
- tisme 14y agoI'm imagining a swarm of these running in to stuff, hot exhausts + gas = the occasional crash. Suddenly you have a bunch of fires to contend with instead of just one! Better use electrically powered ones (though the range may be prohibitive).
