CASA C-212-200 Aviocar in service of the US Army as C-41A for Special Operations
Why the Royal Canadian Air Force has not the Bombardier / Canadair CL-215, 415 or 515 as firefighting aircraft / water bombers in Canada? Are wildfires not important in Canada?
Why has the Royal Canadian Air Force none of the home-made firefighting aircrafts?
Is the Canadian Federal Government "not taking wildfires in Canada seriously"?
Strange to believe that the country of the bestseller Canadair CL-215/415/515 is not considering its own "made in Canada" fire bomber.
It seems that the Canadian Gouvernement is not taking the home-made firefighting aircraft seriously.
All the talks about climate change and they might not be an important issue for the Canadian Federal Government? People are told the temperatures will rise, and it will be much warmer than before.
So, where is the Canadian government's action plan?
Meanwhile, wildfires are taken seriously in most countries in the world, specially in Europe.
Ask your political representative for more information: Why are wildfires not considered important?
Wish you all a great summer time without wildfires!

AERALIS Basic and Advanced Training, Operational Training, Light Combat aircraft. Great Britain
Basic and Advanced Training, Operational Training, Light Combat
Multiple tasks requiring different capabilities but which don’t need an entirely new design for each. Basic trainer, advanced trainer, operational training, aggressor, air display, light attack. All but the last are RAF requirements which might drive different aircraft configurations such as single/dual cockpit and different wings, along with different engines. No need for every platform to carry the same capabilities and costs so optimization of the fleet is possible. All with a goal of low acquisition and operating costs. F-35 was a far more radical combination of different requirements.
This project is revolutionizing the world of flying!
The new light trainer / fighter / attack / reconnaissance / non tripulated and maybe naval version (for the US Navy) and others.
Is it planning to have a V/STOL version?
This are design points
1. MODULAR SYSTEM
2. COMMON CORE FUSELAGE (CCF)
3. AVIONICS
4. COCKPIT
A version: SINGLE SEAT + ADDITIONAL FUEL
B version: TWIN
5. Wings
Version A: BASIC SUBSONIC
Version B: ADVANCED SUBSONIC
6. Engines.
Version A: SINGLE
Version B: TWIN
Version C: LARGE
Statement from:
AERALIS CEO, Tristan Crawford:
“We are proud to be working with Thales, whose expertise in Synthetic Training solutions will augment our own innovative open-architecture aircraft and allow us to offer real options for UK-developed whole aircraft & training systems for the future of the Royal Air Force. This partnership will provide solid foundations for the support of the Future Combat Air System and the RAF future fleet, whilst also revitalizing the British whole aircraft design & manufacturing industry.”
