[0075] 4 display screens. Two screens are arranged in the same way on the top and bottom, and are displayed by function. The four display screens are respectively the carrier signal environment data display (upper left screen), the mission system data status display (upper right screen), the carrier and fire scene environment screen display (lower left screen), and the mission system cabin internal and external screen display (lower right screen). Among them, the mission system data status display (upper right screen) also displays the fire extinguishing control software data.

[0076] Fire extinguishing control software compilation. The aircraft flies at low altitude and low speed over the fire scene, dropping dozens of tons of fire extinguishing agents within minutes. How to effectively and accurately drop dozens of tons of fire extinguishing agents into the effective area of ​​the fire scene to maximize the effect of the fire extinguishing agents is the core technology of fire-fighting aircraft. The precise delivery control technology of fire-fighting aircraft is closely related to the atmospheric environment (wind direction, wind speed, temperature, relative humidity), terrain, aircraft height, speed, attitude, and delivery method near the fire scene. It involves atmospheric meteorology, fluid mechanics, aerodynamics, flight control and other disciplines. Design fire-fighting precise delivery control software that conforms to the aircraft delivery method to achieve precise fire-fighting delivery by fire-fighting aircraft and ensure aircraft flight safety. The fire-fighting control software is an independent module that contains numerous design parameters and is integrated with the aircraft. When the software calculates that the wind direction, wind speed, aircraft altitude, speed, attitude and other parameters meet the conditions for releasing fire-extinguishing agents, the fire-fighting aircraft will release the fire-extinguishing agent. If the software calculates that the conditions for releasing fire-extinguishing agents are not met, the fire-fighting aircraft needs to adjust the aircraft's altitude, speed, attitude, relative position to the fire scene and other parameters according to the information requirements provided by the software until the conditions for releasing fire-extinguishing agents are met.

[0077] The specific workflow of the fire extinguishing control software is as follows:

[0078] ① The aircraft conducts reconnaissance, search and observation (photoelectric turret 64) of the fire scene at the cruising altitude, detects the fire situation, and provides the data to the fire extinguishing control software;

[0079] ② Approaching the fire area, the aircraft descends its flight altitude and reduces its flight speed; the fire extinguishing control software receives information such as meteorological data, altitude, speed, attitude data, and fire environment data provided by the carrier aircraft;

[0080] ③ The fire extinguishing control software performs calculations. If the calculation results meet the conditions for releasing the fire extinguishing agent, the mission system personnel will issue a command to release the fire extinguishing agent, and the release of the fire extinguishing agent will be completed in a few minutes. If the calculation results do not meet the conditions for releasing the fire extinguishing agent, the aircraft will pull up and make a go-around. According to the feedback from the fire extinguishing control software (the aircraft communication notifies the carrier), the aircraft's altitude, speed, attitude and other data will be adjusted until the calculation results meet the conditions for releasing the fire extinguishing agent, and then the fire extinguishing agent will be released to achieve the goal of accurate fire extinguishing;

[0081] ④ Provide data for fire extinguishing effectiveness evaluation.

[0082] Design of ground support unit. It is mainly composed of airport filling pipe or fire truck 12, ground transport trailer 68 and ground cover 69. The airport filling pipe or fire truck 12 can adopt a general airport fire truck. The fire extinguishing agent carried by the airport fire truck is between 12 tons and 16 tons, which meets the requirements of loading fire extinguishing agent in 5 fire extinguishing tanks; special positions can also be designated to bury special pipelines. The ground transport trailer 68 is a special trailer with functions such as towing, rolling, locking and transportation. It is specially designed for shipping, testing and rapid installation. The ground cover 69 is a ground protection device in which an aviation multi-tank fire extinguishing structure is placed on the ground transport trailer 68. See Fig.10 .
