What we supply: the TP-FC100-FFB bucket
We supply the bucket. The carrier aircraft is yours. TP-FC100-FFB is a 100 L aerial firefighting bucket with a 4 kg bucket weight, for DJI FC100, T100S, FC30 and compatible third-party carrier aircraft. It is one accessory, with its own published specifications. We do not describe a complete firefighting aircraft on this page.
If you are sizing the fill rather than the interface, use firefighting drone water capacity. A 100 L volume is not the same figure as the load your carrier can lift.
Published control interfaces
The published control interfaces are PSDK, Ethernet, serial or receiver. The discharge valve provides linearly adjustable opening, with a specified response time of no more than 0.6 seconds.
Those are the interfaces stated on the product page. A change to a control interface is discussed with our sales team for your project. Send the interface your carrier already uses, rather than assuming that a similarly named port is the same connection.
Mounting and carrier review
DJI FC100, T100S and FC30 are the platforms named on the product page. A third-party carrier, or a mounting arrangement that is not already stated for your aircraft, needs a review for that project. Tell us the carrier model and how you intend to suspend the bucket.
The bucket mass is 4 kg before the fill and before rigging. The fill, the agent and the rigging sit on top of that mass, and the total has to fit the allowance your carrier maker states for the carried assembly. Our sales team confirms the carrier review with you. We do not publish a substitute payload allowance.
Documentation for your integration
The product page states the published capacity, bucket weight, control interfaces and valve response. Use those figures with the labels written there. Further documents for your integration are discussed with our sales team.
Keep the carrier maker’s allowance, the agent and the mounting description with the bucket model in your own integration file, so a later change of fill or agent is visible.
Supply for your platform: talk to our sales team
Send the carrier model, the payload allowance and its conditions, the mounting arrangement, the control interface you use, the agent and the quantities you expect at each stage.
Talk to our sales team about samples, minimum order quantities, lead time and pricing. Our sales team confirms what applies to your project. For the difference between a carried bucket and hose-fed equipment, see bucket or hose-fed equipment.
Before you request a quote
Will the bucket fit the carrier aircraft we build?
The published platforms are DJI FC100, T100S, FC30 and compatible third-party carrier aircraft. TP-FC100-FFB is a 100 L aerial firefighting bucket with a 4 kg bucket weight. Tell us the carrier model and how you intend to suspend the bucket. Our sales team confirms the fit and the carrier review for your project.
Which control interfaces does the bucket publish?
The published control interfaces are PSDK, Ethernet, serial or receiver. The discharge valve provides linearly adjustable opening, with a specified response time of no more than 0.6 seconds. A change to a control interface is discussed with our sales team. Send the interface your carrier already uses.
Does the 100 L capacity equal the load our aircraft must carry?
No. 100 L is the bucket volume. Water is about 1 kg per litre, a general physical value, so a full 100 L fill is about 100 kg of water plus the 4 kg bucket, before rigging. The usable fill comes from your carrier maker’s payload allowance for the carried assembly. Our sales team confirms the fill for your project.
Can we order samples before volume supply?
Talk to our sales team about samples, minimum order quantities, lead time and pricing. Tell us the carrier, the agent and the quantities you expect at each stage. Our sales team confirms the arrangement for your project.
