To date, the Rumas 20F helicopter is positioned exclusively as a fire aircraft capable of combating fire spreading both on land and on buildings. This is mainly due to the unique design of the aircraft, which allows directing the foam solution directly to the source of ignition, which makes the aircraft very effective in this regard. It should be noted that the Rumas 15 model also had the ability to perform flights to detect and extinguish fires, however, due to the small mass on board the helicopter, this option had a rather low efficiency.
Due to successfully completed flight tests, the helicopter Rumas 20F became mass-produced, however, due to the fact that in fact it has become possible only recently, information on the number of built and sold aircraft of this model no.
Lightweight and compact design of the aircraft model Rumas 20F provides high performance aircraft maneuverability and good handling, which is very important, especially given the actual purpose of this aircraft.
The cabin of the helicopter Rumas 20F has a small size, and can accommodate an onboard his only two people - a pilot and a member of the crew carrying out the auxiliary firefighting execution. Due to the special purpose of the aircraft, helicopter Rumas 20F can not be used to transport people and cargo transportation.
Despite the narrow functionality helicopter Rumas 20F has a high percentage of prospects, in particular, it is expected that the standard will be able to build at least 50 aircraft of this model.
