Faster and more capable -
SEAGLE is a Game Changer in the AFF world
SEAGLE is explicitly designed with one mission as objective: to tackle wild fires
with maximum safety and operational efficiency.
Developed in association with AFF experts, technicians, pilots and operators to address
the challenge of current and future mega Wildfires. Using state of the art technology
to deliver a capacity of 12 tons of water or retardant, with the needed performance,
maneuverability and mission management system, the SEAGLE is a game changer
for private and institutional operators both for fire airborne surveillance patrol
and direct attack.
12 tons - Enhanced Scooping Capability
SEAGLE scooping capability offers the necessary operational autonomy.
By increasing rough water capabilities, SEAGLE will significantly increase
the availability of water supplies and reduce the transit times.
Fly by Wire –
Improved operational maneuverability
The Seagle is designed to offer the crew with the necessary performance,
maneuverability and stability in the challenging environment over wildfires.
Advanced avionics and mission systems are developed to support the pilots and
operations crew.
Whilst data collection and analytics are used to understand the operating
conditions and adapt the design accordingly, the input from the people at
the front line are the drivers to our motivation.
Mission Management System and wide visibility - Improved Situation Awareness and flight safety
SEAGLE is designed from a clean sheet of paper, with pilots and for pilots.
State of the art glass cockpit, integrated mission management system and large
visibility canopy will provide improved situation awareness thus meeting the
operational requirement to operate with other aircraft in a demanding air space
Integrated Sensor Technology provides predictive maintenance capabilities and high readiness.
Since composite materials are gaining more and more applications in aerospace industry,
Roadfour has chosen to design and build the SEAGLE as much as possible with this new material.
It makes the aircraft lighter and the structure will offer high resistance to water and salt
corrosion. In the same way, the landing gears are fully retractable in waterproof bays.
The modular design of aircraft is preventing costly reparations in case of damage during operations.
