Abstract
This report presents the results of the firebomber ground distribution tests made at Uplands Airport during the spring, summer, and fall of 1967; a total of 37 contour patterns are presented for five of the major existing fire-bombers currently used in Canada: the Turbo-Beaver, the Otter, the Twin Otter, the TBM Avenger, and the Canso; pertinent meteorological data, speeds, altitudes, and recovery percentages are included with each contour pattern, and contour lengths and enclosed areas are calculated for each drop distribution; the effects on the ground distribution of using long-term retardant and a water-thickening additive are also discussed.
