ABSTRACT:
A fire bomber aircraft has an elongated discharge chute which communicates with the outlet opening of liquid tank and a discharge end disposed a substantial distance below the input end. The discharge end opens from the aircraft to atmosphere such that upon movement of the closure door of the drop tank to an open position, liquid will flow through the outlet opening to form a falling stream which will accelerate to a substantial velocity before it is discharged through the discharge end to the surrounding atmosphere to thereby reduce the erosion of the body of liquid which is discharged.
