(12,882 posts)but I wanna know how the hell they propose holding it steady over raging infernos as he contends they can do. Fire bombers have one heck of a bumpy ride as they pass thru the rising heat - and so this plastic-skinned slug is gonna just hover there?

Granted, this thing may be more air-stable than a helo, but the column of heat over a major fire is not gonna make "accuracy" in load placement as easy as he makes it sound.
Very cool aircraft, though. I can think of lots of other applications.
