The AT-802 Fire Boss is a fast, agile single engine air tanker, designed from the tires up for rapid response firefighting. Powered by the reliable PT6A-67F turbine engine, the AT-802F has a ferry speed of almost 300 Km/h. An AT-802F pilot can take on a full 820-gallon load (3100 litres) and be in the air, headed for the front lines in as few as five minutes after receiving a dispatch.
In contrast to heavy air tankers based at larger airfields, the AT-802 Fire Boss can land on short dirt strips, land with floats on nearby lakes, even work from county roads a few miles from the fire to dramatically reduce ferry times to and from the front lines.
Completely revised flight physics. Corrected various aircraft components.
This aircraft variant flies very much like the real life full sized physical airplane based on what is seen in various YouTube videos.
