The world's leading manufacturer of aircraft floats, including the Fire Boss.

Last year, the Fire Boss completed a demonstration tour across Brazil. 🇧🇷🔥

The tour showcased how the AT-802 Fire Boss can support wildfire response efforts by scooping water directly from nearby lakes and waterways, helping reduce turnaround times during firefighting operations.

Throughout the demonstrations, operators and crews highlighted the aircraft’s adaptability in Brazil’s diverse terrain while connecting with local agencies and industry partners across the region.

The CubCrafters NXCub was built for adventure, and the Wipline 2100 floats take that capability even further.

Designed to complement the NXCub’s STOL performance and lightweight handling, the 2100s give pilots the flexibility to operate from both water and land while maintaining the performance the aircraft is known for.
