The feasibility of the concept of using a helicopter to suppress fires in high-rise buildings was investigated by means of flight simulations and flight tests. The piloted simulations using a flight simulator were performed to investigate the safety and effectiveness of the fire fighting operation. Also flight tests were conducted, in which the pilots performed hovering at a distance of 20 m from a real high-rise building and tried to keep the searchlight, which was mounted on the helicopter, fixed on a target window. It was pointed out that the fire helicopter should be equipped with an indicator of the distance to the building wall to improve the safety and efficiency during the fire fighting operation. The results of these experiments validated the feasibility of the fire helicopter and also clarified the problems to be solved to realize this concept.
