Kaman K-1200 Firemax Fire Fighting System

Kawak Aviation developed the firemax fixed tank system for the Kaman 1200 providing a 660 gallon water capacity and a 35 gallon foam tank capacity coupled with a 30 second refill time. The computer controlled constant flow door system provided the firemax tank with a distinct edge when competing for performance based contracts in the aviation industry. This system enabled the aircraft to become one of the lowest cost aircraft on a dollar per gallon delivered basis.
