The payload for this platform is purposely being kept light in order to maximize the endurance of the aircraft. The aircraft will fly above the plume when possible in order to provide complete vertical coverage of dynamics and aerosol concentration throughout the plume. When studying the inflow characteristics of the active fire, finer horizontal resolution requirements may dictate that the aircraft fly at lower altitudes.
