In the Works
Line Marker
A product that is in the early stages of development is our new line
marker which is being designed to provide a visual guide for pilots of
the whereabouts of wires and lines when working near the ground or in
valleys and gorges. As the product develops we will post it on our web
site.
Spot sprayer
We have begun some trials on a spot sprayer that is suspended beneath
the helicopter on a long line. It will allow the pilot to spray only
individual items without blanket spraying the area. This product will be
entering the market soon, so if you are in the market for a spot
sprayer, give us a call first.
Multi Hook Design
Multi hook design has begun on a carousel multi hook with 4, 6, or 8
individual hooks. All hooks are independent of each other and can be
released in any random fashion. Indication of the hook's position is
monitored by the pilot from the cockpit.
Data Logging
Our team of designers have performed preliminary testing on a data
logging system that is designed to work with the CloudBurst Fire Bucket.
The information we are gathering is bucket volume, foam % injected, GPS
location of filling, GPS location of dropping and the volume at each
drop site whether it is a partial or full drop. The units will be sold
separately from the buckets and do not have to be purchased by the
bucket owner. This will enable the client of the helicopter company to
purchase this unit so that they can gather the information about the
attack on their fire. For more information contact
us.
New Spreading Bucket
Currently we are developing a new spreading bucket to distribute pest
baits. This is an involved process with many factors being considered,
such as minimizing product break up, even product distribution,
light-weight bucket construction and elimination of frame obstructions
to name a few. We are gathering as much information as we can to aid our
product development, with the involvement of governmental departments
and helicopter operators. We hope to have this product developed before
June 2009.
