Aircraft fires are dangerous and can get out of control quickly. Due to the size of modern day aircraft, they can hold a large amount of fuel. This leads to a larger and hotter fire, one in fact
that may be difficult for humans to approach. To decrease the risk of human life the implementation of autonomy to firefighting vehicles might be the solution.In this article, one will find the complete background, design and manufacturing processes, as
well as future plans for this concept to become a reality. A team of eight engineering technology students have put together ideas, experience and effort to propose a hopeful execution for the Autonomous Aircraft Rescue Firefighting Vehicle. One will find throughout this paper that many types of data have been collected, analyses have been run, and investigative research conducted. Programming, wiring, welding, machining, and testing are among several things that have contributed to the progress of this project. Over the course of ten months, amongst complexities and successes, Team Fax is attempting to solve this real-world problem of dangerous aircraft fires. To demonstrate this concept at a scaled size, the team has competed in the Oklahoma State
University 2022 Speedfest Competition. The competition required the AARFF vehicle to navigate a course of cones based on GPS locations as well as locating and extinguishing a type A jet fuel fire
