DROP SPHEROID 100 – Air drop fuel. Combat fuel drop. Humanitarian air drop. Hurricane assistance

SPHEROID 100 . SURVIVED ! NO LEAKS. Ground is solid, dry after rain ! No dent in ground at impact spot.

Outer protective skin has few cuts from stones. But inner layers of tank not damaged. Filler fitting only scratched.

Light aircraft can air drop fuel or water. Humanitarian aid – disaster aid – combat resupply troops without helicopters or airfield.

Deployment possible in very short time – without special training or preparation. Other then drop crew wear short harness.

FAST – MOST ACCURATE FOR SMALL DROP ZONES – COST EFFECTIVE – UTILIZE THE AIRCRAFT OF OPPORTUNITY as Cessna 206 – Cessna 208 – DHC-2 Beaver– DHC-6 Twin Otter – P-750 – CASA 212 – Short 330 etc.

Also can be deployed from faster transport aircraft as C130 Hercules – C-17 – AN-32 etc.

NO PARACHUTE drop success depends, on pilots skill and willingness to fly at 70 knots or slower – at 50 ft or lower. Must avoid concrete and rocky ground. Tank can bust ! If not stay within operational limitations.

Expected number of times reuse:

1.) Air dropped with parachute: Over 100 x cycles as long avoid – sharp rock and tree canopies or similar highly destructive ground.

2.) Air dropped with no parachute: As long stay within limitations of 50 ft 15 Metre height – 70 knots 130 km speed. – avoid concrete – sharp rocks and trees or similar highly destructive ground. 5 x cycles. BUT if ground is soft as sand over 20 x cycles. If pilot can fly lower and slower the re-usable cycle will increase.

Helicopters and slow bush aircrafts are most effective
