Abstract: Wildfires are increasingly a pressing global concern, necessitating innovative solutions to prevent them and combat their devastating effects. Here, I propose a novel concept—utilizing a network of Fire Suppression Aircrafts equipped with a continuous water supply system as “aerial aqueducts” —to revolutionize wildfire management. The proposed system's core advantage lies in its ability to rapidly and efficiently suppress fires, minimizing damage to both natural landscapes and human settlements. I’ll discuss key considerations, including technological feasibility, environmental impact, regulatory compliance, and adaptability. While challenges exist, the inherent adaptability of aircraft technology to inaccessible terrains and the parallels with existing firefighting methodologies make this solution applicable and promising. Rigorous testing and validation are required to ensure its functionality and safety. Ultimately, the concept underscores the potential for a proactive and efficient approach to tackling the growing wildfire threat worldwide.
