Worldwide, one of the most economic Cost Per Gallon Delivered air tankers in the world.  

Global SuperTanker is a force multiplier in the industry, carrying up to 19,200 gallons of water or 17,500 gallons of fire retardant on a single flight.  This provides fire managers options to utilize smaller aircraft to focus on other fires, and fires where large loads may not be needed.  Capacity is nearly double that of the next closest very large air tankers (VLATs) at 9,400 gallons, and close to seven times that of the standard large air tankers (LATs) at 3000 gallons.

Global SuperTanker’s revolutionary separate dual pressurized tank system allows for multiple fluid type drops on a single mission, no other tanker is capable of providing such an essential firefighting mission tool. The systems architecture also provides the worlds widest and longest drop line, drastically improving fire containment on the ground.

SuperTanker’s water/retardant capacity and flight endurance capability afford government agencies an unmatched firefighting resource.  More gallons per flight dropped, and a flight endurance more than any other air tanker in the world – that means lower cost, more time-on-mission and fewer aircraft needed to fight fires.  This improves safety margins and assists to reduce risk as fewer aircraft in the firefighting area means less exposure to ground and air crews.
