Firefighting bucket (11) suspended from an aircraft by lines (15), has open top (12A) and a valve at base (13). The valve is attachable to the aircraft by remotely actuatable line (16) and independent movement of lines (15-16) may utilise the weight of the water to facilitate opening and closing of the valve. Dynamic sensing of a bucket attribute, e.g. weight, enables bucket (11) to be filled or discharged by a pre-determined volume by the pilot. Chemical fire retardant may be added by entraining it with water discharging from the valve.

La présente invention concerne un réservoir de lutte contre le feu (11) à suspendre sous un aéronef au moyen de lignes (15). Ce réservoir, dont le haut (12A) est ouvert, comporte une vanne dans le fond (13). Cette vanne peut se relier à l'aéronef au moyen d'une ligne (16) se manoeuvrant à distance, des lignes à déplacement indépendant (15-16) pouvant utiliser la gravité de l'eau pour favoriser l'ouverture et la fermeture de la vanne. La détection dynamique d'un attribut du réservoir tel que la masse, permet un remplissage ou une décharge du réservoir (11) d'une quantité définie à l'initiative du pilote. L'adjonction d'un retardant chimique peut se faire par entraînement par l'eau de décharge après la vanne.
