How much water can the typical 2 axle pumper pump in an minute?
The fire engines that I worked on pumped between 1500 and 2000 gallons per minute. The CL-415 that had damage to the leading edge of its wing carries up to 1620 gallons or 13,000 pounds of water per load. So, a typical fire engine can deliver approximately the same amount of water with much greater precision every minute.
The CL-415 costs more than $40,000,000. It is one of the airplanes included in the standard edition of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. The program still has a lot of glitches, but you can look all around the outside and the inside of the CL-415 using mouse and keyboard.
Here is a YouTube video showing what it looks like inside and out in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 along with flying from land and water.
Here is a video showing how to drop water from the CL-415 in MSFS 2024.
Thank you!
