This invention describes an aerial firefighting system that uses two helicopters. The first helicopter drops tanks filled with sand around and on top of a fire to smother it. A second helicopter then sprays water from its own tanks onto the fire to ensure it doesn't reignite. The claims specify the first extinguishing element is sand.
Why it matters: Heavy-lift drone technology has advanced significantly since 2010, potentially offering more precise or autonomous delivery of extinguishing agents than manned helicopters. This could make the two-stage delivery method more feasible or efficient.
