Fires,
occurring in a variety of environments and of different sizes, continue to
threaten the entire world. Today, due to its independence from geography and
the possibility of observing the entire fire area from above, the aerial method
of fire suppression provides more effective results for fires that occur in
open areas than other methods. However, still the existed tools used today to
fight fires from the air cannot have the expected effect in extinguishing
fires. There are two main reasons for this. The first is the low effectiveness
of the extinguishing agents used in extinguishing and cooling operations, and
the second is the problem of these agents not being released in the desired
quantity and in the right places. This study focuses on the design of a new and
effective firefighting tool to be used in aerial firefighting methods and will
eliminate the above shortcomings. This designed tool is thrown the fire from
aircraft. It contains a very effective mineral with extinguishing-cooling
properties. This extinguishing tool is also assisted by some electronic sensors
and software to perform its task autonomously after being dropped from the
aircraft. The design of this tool, which takes its shape and dimensions from a
real wartime munition (Mark 82 type air to ground low drag bomb), was created
using the 3D modeling program Catia V5.R21, and the structural, numerical, and
flow analyzes were performed using Ansys 16.0 software. The resulting design
was awarded a prize in a national competition (TUBITAK 2242-University Students
Research Project Competitions, Turkey second prize, 2019) and a patent
application was filed for the commercial manufacture of the product.
