The game changer in firefighting
The C-27J Next Generation Fire Fighter with roll-on/roll-off second generation Modular Aerial Firefighting System (MAFFS II) by UAC – world leader in design, manufacturing and certification of some of the most advanced aerial application systems – represents the very latest in airborne firefighting capability.
The Fire Fighter configuration is a flexible solution, ideal for enhancing the capabilities of the C-27J Next Generation multi-mission aircraft with significantly lower acquisition and operating cost than a firefighting dedicated platform.
When not used in firefighting duties, the aircraft can be quickly reconfigured for transport, humanitarian support, civil protection and SAR roles.
C-27J Next Generation key features for firefighting:
- Remarkable maximum cruise speed for rapid response to fire disasters
Outstanding maneuverability even at low altitude
Great situational awareness and low workload thanks to modern avionics, with day and night capabilities
Excellent external visibility thanks to multiple large windows in the cockpit
Roll-on/Roll-off capability via the rear loading ramp
Very high payload capability even in hot & high conditions
Ability to land in rough terrain close to fire area for MAFFS II tank refills
