This is a fire equipment which combines advantages of unmanned aerial vehicles and Fire engines.The biggest feature of this equipment is that the scope of watering has enhanced ten times compared the current fire equipment,while the cost is only a quarter of the current equipment.The fire equipment is safe, flexible and efficient,moreover,it has features of big watering scope, fast and more accurate.

Air-Fire engine is a fire equipment which combines advantages of unmanned aerial vehicles and Fire engines, its biggest feature is that the scope of watering has enhanced ten times compared the current fire equipment,while the cost is only a quarter of the current equipment.The feature is reflected by flying to the height which firefighters and fire engines can not get.The range of extinguishing of unmanned aerial vehicles increased from 70 meters to 200 meters, the fire area is ten times as much before. With the drones instead of the expensive fire ladder, so the cost reduced by a quarter. Unmanned aerial vehicles and fire water gun connected through a pipe for providing fire extinguishing materials and power to the water gun, the second unmanned aerial vehicle is responsible for the balance.The fire equipment is safe, flexible and efficient,moreover,it has features of big watering scope, fast and more accurate. The air fire engine is a lifesaving design.

The current high-level fire fighting method is the water tankers (4 million) + consumer ladder (12 million -13 million),but air fire vehicles for the water tankers (4 million) + unmanned aerial vehicles (3 million -4 million)The cost of each production equipment can save 8-10 million. In addition the scope of fire has been enhanced ten times as much compared to the current fire equipment,which has enormous industrial economic potential. This project has won the first prize of The Silk Road Star Innovation Design Competition, and has been listed as the key incubation project of the provincial government.

Chief Designer: Shizhong Fan; Director of Project: Prof. Renke He & Prof. Dihu Xiao; Other members: Prof. Meng Gao, Prof. Weijie Yuan, Ke Ma Cooperated with The Design Academy of Hunan University, Machine and Transportation Academy of Hunan University, and Hunan Fire Brigade. For successfully completing this program, the team headed for Hunan Province to go through a series of deep research and participate in several actions: fire drill, high-floor rescue, interview with heroes of fire brigades and victims, etc. We develop a method of design that calls for participation: firemen, victims, and engineers are all involved into this project so that we can take everyone’s requirement into consideration. During this process, we held a several times of design workshops and go through many researches about industrial design, structure design, physical analysis, simulation analysis, dynamic analysis, and statics analysis.
