Title	Fire retardant ground distribution patterns from the CL-215 air tanker.
Creator	George, C. W. (Charles W.)
Contributor	United States. Forest Service.
Description	Several fire retardants in current use were dropped from the Canadair CL-215 to determine drop height effects and for evaluation of the tank and gating system. Mathematical models for each retardant and load size were developed for predicting the effects of drop height on ground distribution as shown the retardant recovery, area of coverage, and contour (fireline) length as functions of concentration level.
