Be-200 MULTIPURPOSE AMPHIBIOUS AIRCRAFT

The basic configuration of the Be-200 amphibious aircraft is indended for fighting the forest fires using the fire extinguishant fluids. While doing this, the aircraft can fulfill the following tasks:

stop and restrain the spread of the big forest fires by developing the protecting strip due to multiple drops on the fire edge;
extinguishing the small fire and fire which only starts to develop;
delivery of fire brigades and fire extingushing equipment to the fire region by landing on preselected water area of aifield, and return to the base.


A particular feature of the Be-200 aircraft, when compared with the other amphibians, is that it has fully pressurized fuselage, which allows to fulfill a lot of missions.

The aircraft is fitted with flight/navigation and communication equipment allowing the navigation and flight control at all flight phases in adverse weather conditions at any season, day and night.

Be-200 will be equipped with the new avionics complex ARIA-200 which meets the requirements of ICAO category III of joint Russian-American production by ARIA JV (Allied Signal Aerospace, USA and NIIAO, Russia).

The interior for the Be-200 amphibious aircraft firefighting configuration is developed by AIM Aviation Fliteform. Passenger and combi configurations are on the list as well.

While designing the Be-200 amphibious aircraft, the designers took into account the design experience and test results of the biggest jet amphibian A-40 "Albatross" which set 148 records.

Apart from the basic - Firefighting version, the following aircraft versions will be manufactured:

· Transport;
· Passenger (Be-210);
· Search & Rescue
· Ambulance
The aircraft can also be developed in executive version.

Be-200 amphibious aircraft designing is based on FAR-25 requirements that will allow to facilitate the certification in compliance with FAA and JAA requirements.

On December 27, 2000 the Be-200 amphibious aircraft obtained the tpye noise certificate № СШ 118-Бе-200.

On August 10, 2001 the Be-200 obtained the type certificate for restricted category aircraft. № СТОК 201-Бе-200.

The Beriev 200 ( Be-200) is not bild originatly to fight forest fires but is a passenger plane converted. Not to bust any bubble but this plane like any passenger plane, it's slow to respond. takes of long time to fill up, so you need a very large water body. The demo made in Portugal a few years ago failed( they actualy hit tree tops and set them on fire). In California they use cl215 and cl415. wich have a exelent record , much lower maintenance cost, and THEY have parts in sotck , Russia ....

@Be200USA i mean, damn don't know what's the word...what is the max take off distance on water (reloading distance?), some rumors says that france is interresting in buying 4 of them for 50M$ each, after succesfull testing on french riviera. how many of them will be used in USA ? do you have any information about french testing ? what about translating the cockpit and instrument ? what about maintenance cost compared to CL415 ? you look like someone who knows, please tell us, (even in PM)

@bombarderoazul This is a problem, but not insurmountable. The US Government now OPERATES over 100 Russian aircraft of various types, and the experiences held by thousands of Americans who fly and maintain both helicopter and fixed wing aircraft are making those mental icebergs melt away. My company is planning to import the planes and I just set up a channel to promote positive thinking on the subject.

I represent International Emergency Services of Santa Maria CA. We will be operating the Be-200 in the USA and will soon upload the videos to our new channel.

For every aircraft that people claim to be a knockoff of western designs, there are several that have no equivalent. This is one. I love the Altair.

thank you Russia for the lending for the summer time.....

Greetings from the French Riviera....

Cet avion est actuellement sur le lac de Sainte Croix dans le sud de la France et il sera déployé sur la Côte d'Azur et la Provence contre les feux de forêt.....

Grace à la Russie, nous sauverons notre belle et fragile forêt
