Key Advantages

Why Valiair Sets a New Standard in Aerial Firefighting

Revolutionizing aerial firefighting means more than just new tech—it’s about smarter operations, safer aircraft, and faster results. Valiair’s ARES system delivers unmatched efficiency, adaptability, and value across the board.

Optimized Ground Coverage

Our pressurization technology enables precise, high-pressure drops. It eliminates aerosolization and drift-off for maximum fire line impact.

Lightweight Carbon Fiber Construction

The system is built from advanced composites to reduce overall weight. This allows greater payload capacity and lower fuel consumption.

Rapid Deployment Capability

Installation or removal can be completed in under 24 hours. This enables unmatched mission readiness and fleet flexibility.

Non-Invasive Aircraft Integration

Mounted over the wing box, the system avoids structural modification. Aircraft remain safe, intact, and airworthy post-installation.

Cost-Efficient Engineering

Valiair achieves superior performance with 75% lower R&D costs. Efficient production keeps operational expenses to a minimum.

Legacy Aircraft Optimization

Designed for Boeing 757 “Classic” models, widely available and affordable. A strong pilot and maintenance workforce is already in place.
