Design of a Modern System of Pouring Aircraft Equipment for Discharging Fire-Extinguishing Liquid from a Transport Aircraft

The paper considers the issues of increasing the energy efficiency of extinguishing forest fires by improving the extinguishing equipment installed on transport aircraft, in particular, the improvement of individual modules of the existing VAP-2 aviation pouring device, which is widely used on Il–76 military transport aircraft. Increasing the efficiency of fire extinguishing is achieved by automating the process of water discharge, for which a simulation model has been developed that allows you to calculate when, at what expense and for what amount of time to carry out the discharge as efficiently as possible, which will significantly reduce the number of aircraft sorties, fuel consumption and consumption of fire extinguishing composition.
