The Bombardier 415, also known as the Canadair CL-415, is an amphibious water bomber aircraft that was originally designed by Canadair before being acquired by Bombardier, who then later sold the programme to Viking Aircraft in 2016. The Bombardier 415 was produced over the years between 1993 and 2015, and around 95 units were produced to date. Currently, the model remains in active service, employed by operators such as the Vigili del Fuoco of Italy, the Sécurité Civile of France, and the Hellenic Air Force of Greece. Since the acquisition of the 415 model by Viking Aircraft, the company has announced their intention to bring a more modernized variant of the aircraft, labeled the CL-515.

For flight operations, the Bombardier 415 utilizes two
Pratt & Whitney Canada PW123AF turboshafts, capable of producing 2,380 horsepower to travel at a maximum cruise speed of 194 knots. The travel range of the aircraft is 1,319 nautical miles, due in part to its fuel tank capacity of 1,530 gallons and 0.99 nautical miles per gallon fuel economy. As the aircraft is designed to serve as a water bomber, it is capable of scooping up 1,620 US gallons of water and dumping it on a fire without the need for refueling. With its design, it is also capable of performing such duties with low risk of corrosion due to various water chemical compositions.
