Company Summary

The HYNAERO company is a start-up from Bordeaux which supports the European program FREGATE-F100, an amphibious water bomber aircraft for fighting forest fires.

Why an amphibious plane? Because only the scooping capacity on nearby water surface allows autonomy of action and a high rate of rotations to attack and fix the fires.
