Those Amphivias aircraft are trully a marvel of aviation:) not just to say for firefighting as well, which is becoming a world wide dry season desaster. cheers
In Brasilien haben wir bedarf für ein Flugzeug, ist in erster Linie für die Bekämpfung von Waldbränden speichern teams und Anlagen von hoher Bedeutung für kraftstofftanks und Stationen erzeugen Strom etc. Ich bin der Präsident der Vereinigung der Forstwirtschaft Ingenieure von Brasilia, Distrito Federal, Brasilien.
I suspect getting them certified by the FAA is something of a chalenge.Not to mention that the logistics of parts and components is probably pretty sketchy.
Why are these airplanes not showing up in the west? ...performance maybe? Are their load ability competitive? For ex., the b3-103 has VERY poor load numbers....I have looked at that design for over ten years and I can see why it does not sell. The blended body section is all wrong. To make a seaplane competitive is VERY difficult and classical technology will NOT do. There is a way, but not anything I see will be marketable against land, especially the 787.
Russian firefighting planes are being kept out of US market, they are far superior to old C130s (see crash video Colorado) Martin Mars, PBY and even Canadair amphibs, Lets have some free trade for a change!!
I agree, having attended this whow in 2002. Be-200 is the most exciting heavy airplane I ever saw and inspected.

P.S. Sorry. The disadvantage is in the eyes of the countries of the North-Atlantic Alliance and the European Union. And to do that they are afraid of.

Not sure but looks like a Russian UAV.

It doesn't. I personally know about a dozen Female aeronautics engineers.
Love the Russian generals' hats. Like something out of a Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers cartoon.
