Description: The natural occurrences of wildfires damage nature areas, produce the hundreds of millions of dollars in losses, and considerable pollution of environment. The author suggests a very efficient method of suppression of a forest fire without water. He offers a system of simple light plates or anchor suspended from any helicopter which directs the helicopter propeller airflow against the direction of a wildfire. After some minutes the natural fuel burns away in the front of fire and the fire cannot advance. The author developed theory and methods computations and suggests some designs of the devices for so changing the helicopter airflow direction. ------------------- Key words: Wildfire, suppression of wildfire, suppression of forest fire by helicopter.
