MTT Turbine Fire-Fighting Airboat™

MTT has successfully developed an emergency vehicle design combining the versatility of an airboat with full fire-fighting, EMS, and rescue capabilities.  The MTT Turbine Fire-Fighting Airboat is powered by a 420 HP Rolls-Royce turbine engine, featuring an electronic control system managing all starting procedures, fuel consumption, and engine governing.  This innovative, amphibious emergency vehicle is akin to a Swiss Army Knife with a multitude of applications housed in one tidy 16' - 24' package.

Providing full fire-fighting capability, the Fire-Fighting Airboat has a water pump system within its trailer legal hull.  The 16’ model is designed to deliver 1,000 to over 1,700 GPM a distance of 300+ feet with either hand-held nozzles or remote-controlled cannons mounted to the hull.  Pressures are approximately 170-psi based on the application.  The vertical water lift is 15+ feet for when the airboat is stationed on an embankment or bridge. 

The Fire-Fighting Airboat is also a rapid response flood control vehicle that can be used in any situation such as when MTT performed a contract to pump out New Orleans after hurricane Katrina.    

The Retractable Landing Gear allows the airboat to deploy on city streets and then launch itself into a water body.
