Final answer:

The NFPA requires a minimum flow of 1000 gpm (3785 L/min) on an aerial device.

Step-by-step explanation:

The NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) requires a minimum flow of 1000 gpm (3785 L/min) on an aerial device. This means that the aerial device must be capable of delivering at least 1000 gallons per minute or 3785 liters per minute of water flow.

The minimum flow requirement is important to ensure adequate firefighting capabilities when using the aerial device.
