Studies of the performance of fire retardant delivery systems for fixed-wing aircraft have indicated that performance can be significantly improved by modifying delivery systems to allow the selectable and controllable flow of retardant from the tank. The report describes several concepts in improving delivery system performance and Interagency Airtanker Board (IATB) criteria for achieving these improvements. Other requirements for implementing the concept are also discussed.
