1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This ROSENBAUER Air Crash Tender is primarily designed for rapid and active combatting of aircraft fires and to facilitate evacuation of occupants.
All components of this vehicle result from first-class products that have been continuously developed and improved, making the vehicle absolutely reliable under any circumstances.
All-wheel drive, differential lock in all axles, inter axle locks and single tyres ensure together with the NATO approved coil spring suspension that the vehicle is very well suited for cross-country operations.
This vehicle has been engineered and will be fabricated and tested in accordance with the German (DIN), Austrian (ÖNORM) and internal Rosenbauer/MAN standards and specifications.
This vehicle has been designed to meet the ICAO recommendations in respect of all performance criteria.
1.1 General design approach
a) The selection and matching of drivetrain components, as well as maximum usage of lightweight material consistent with design requirements to provide a high horsepower to weight ratio for maximum acceleration are the basic design criteria, with the result to reach the scene of an emergency on or in the vicinity of an airport with rapidity and high mobility.
Top speed: up to 138 km/h
Acceleration from 0 - 80 km/h: within 25 sec. (at an operational weight of approx. 39,5 t)
b) To gain rapid fire control and permit rescuing passengers, high agent discharge rates are instantly available at the monitors, hand lines and at the self protection system.
Special design consideration is given to safety, ease and simplicity of operation of fire fighting controls, maximum visibility from the cab and maximum articulation of the monitor.
Roof monitor discharge: Up to 9000 l/min., dual output design
Monitor articulation: horizontal 270°, vertical -15° to +70°
c) Off-road mobility is achieved due to correct selection of axle and tyre configuration and suspension with progressively acting coil springs and double acting hydraulic shock absorbers incorporating adequate ground clearance.
Vehicle drive: 8 x 8
Tyres: 8, size: 16.00 R 20, single
Ground clearance: front approx. 464 mm, rear approx. 421 mm
d) The vehicle is suited to operate in a variety of climatic situations including desert, tropical, salt sea and arctic environments.
e) This ROSENBAUER product provides for ease of maintenance by designing for maximum accessibility, the use of a minimum of parts requiring maintenance and the avoidance of components which require special tools for service or repair.
f) Safety and comfort of crew during standby and travel modes and during emergency fire fighting operations, was one of the main design considerations.
g) The horsepower and torque of engines are selected to satisfy the power requirements of the water pump and the vehicle drivetrain during all mobility operations and all operations requiring the simultaneous application of driving and discharging.
The selection and arrangement of the components of the required fire-fighting systems satisfy the requirements of rated capacity discharge of water or a water and foam concentrated solution during operations either independent of or in conjunction with vehicle motion.
This ROSENBAUER design provides for maximum safety, offers fastest discharge, eliminates operational errors and protects the vehicle components.
