Martin Mars: Giants of the Sky

The Martin JRM Mars began life as a WWII U.S. Navy patrol aircraft, but Canada gave it new purpose. 🇨🇦 Converted into water bombers in B.C., these flying boats helped fight wildfires for decades—each carrying over 27,000 litres! 💧✈️ #Canada #MartinMars #AerialFirefighting #Aviation

Current #aerialfirefighting operations are limited to times with clear visibility when a Tactical Air Group Supervisor or "air boss" in a piloted aircraft can provide direction. Otherwise, pilots may risk collisions.

The ACERO technology will provide that air boss capability for #remotelypilotedaircraft operations—and users will be able to do it from the ground.

Are you too experiencing symptoms such as Martin Mars nostalgia because USSOCOM didn't follow through with the MC-130J floatplane concept? ☹️ This ATR 72 conversion idea may help you: https://positive-aviation.com/. 👍 And yes, it's a waterbomber! ☺️ #aerialfirefighting #aircraft #aviation #engineering #stem
