Aviogel

Precision firefighting for a greener future
Aviogel has developed an innovative and sustainable solution to fight wildfires.

At the core of the technology are hydrogel spheres made from 100% biodegradable materials and designed to be deployed from aerial firefighting aircraft. When they come into contact with water or other liquids, the spheres rapidly absorb them, increasing their weight. This allows pilots to perform aerial drops with greater ballistic accuracy from higher altitudes, improving both operational precision and flight safety.

The technology also significantly reduces water loss caused by evaporation before it reaches the ground, increasing the effectiveness of aerial firefighting operations.

In addition, the hydrogel spheres contain a blend of seeds and fertilisers, enabling a single aerial deployment to both suppress wildfires and initiate reforestation, supporting the long-term restoration and resilience of natural ecosystems.
