The incredible imaginations at Carter Aviation Technologies (the
folks who are also developing the carter Copter) have come up with
a novel use for some of their most promising brainstorms. A new
concept for firefighting missions is being introduced by Carter
Aviation Technologies (Carter) of Wichita Falls, TX. The
firefighting capability is being designed as an adaptation kit for
Carter's Heliplane Transport (CHT). The CHT is a heavy-lift
transport being developed using Carter's patented
Slowed-Rotor/Compound (SR/C) Aircraft Technology. The full-size CHT
is designed to be the size of a C-130J and yet it has vertical
take-off and landing (VTOL) capabilities with a useful load of
70,000 lbs at a density altitude of 4000 ft with a range of 1000
miles. The CHT is currently under evaluation
