ABSTRACT

A foam delivery chute to improve the aerial firefighting process of dropping
fire suppressant foam onto fires. The chute is made up of fire-resistant
material arranged in a Kresling pattern and designed to provide a guide for
the fire suppressant foam. This results in much more accurate delivery of
foam, thus making the entire process much more efficient and accurate. The
chute is extended or retracted by a mechanical shaft system and is operated by
the pilot of the aerial vehicle.
