Abstract

This article presents a possible use of ABC method for optimization of fuel consumption of helicopter which transport water capsule. There are lot of attibutes of flight e.g. the mass of the capsule, velocity, altitude, aerodynamic coefficients of the capsule, and horizontal and vertical winds. The presented method is focused on mentioned attributes. The problem is very important because helicopters are used in real hughe fire and it will be quite good if the fueal needed for this will be as low as possible. That is why authors presents theoretical models of flight of a bag filled with water which is then dropped from an aircraft moving horizontally. The resulet achived by numerical computations are later compared with the results measured for the trajectory of a capsule of water dropped from a helicopter. There ia also a discussion of the experimental and numerical results achieved in mentioned experiment.
