Description

The 300 Gallon / 1360 Liter Flying Water Series Tank (MPN: FWS-300) from Fol-Da-Tank’s “Flyer” line is a durable and reliable helicopter water tank engineered for aerial firefighting, water transport, and emergency response. Built with a pyramid-shaped blivet design, this tank ensures stability in flight and on the ground, even under heavy loads.
