Built from The popular Wipline 13000 Twin Otter float platform the NEW 10000 has proven reliable systems and designs.
|
 The superior dispatch reliability of the Fire Boss's turbine engine cuts the fire response time to minutes.
Scoop control panel is conveniently located so pilots attention is maintained at windscreen level. I t provides information for angle of attack, foam transfer system, auto-bilge and water-warning system, TOT/Torque gauges and aural/visual overpower warning system, auto-fill probe retraction system and probe position indicators
Exclusive Wipaire high-efficiency probes are designed to be deployed at flight speeds. They also boast simplicity, minimal drag and are easily changed or repaired.
 Optional foam tanks in each float give an additional 70 gallons of fire-suppression product to the plane's system. The tank slips out for easy access to internal float components.
Water handling is similar to any conventional seaplane, easily mastered by the average seaplane pilot.

| “The Fire Boss performed very well for me this summer! I personally endorse contracting a group of four (4) Fire Boss aircraft for the Cariboo region” |

“The Fire Boss worked very well and was a pleasure to fly.”

| “The Fire Boss worked very well when grouped with 2 land-based 802’s. It would arrive last from base with a load of mud. This worked out great because it gave the 802’s time to enter the circuit, drop their mud loads, and head back to base for a reload. The Fire Boss would drop its mud load and then stay on site as a scooper.” |

“The Fire Boss out-performed all helicopter models in terms of water volume delivered and cost per litre.”

| “The Fire Boss’s dual-role capacity of being able to carry retardant from airports or scoop water/foam from lakes proved very valuable in Spain this summer. I’ve ordered four more Fire Bosses for next year!” |
