Aerial application accelerated after World War II, spurred by development of a variety of insecticides, fungicides and herbicides and a swift increase in the average size of farms. Hopper size steadily increased to accommodate larger dry and wet loads — all the way up to the 3,028-liter hopper found on today’s piloted Air Tractor 802 planes. Jim Hi...
Pilots say their well-oiled operations are still more efficient than anything the drone world has conjured. Consider Downstown Aero Crop Service Inc. in the cranberry and blueberry country of New Jersey. Downstown operates six ag planes, including three Air Tractor-602s that each carry a 2,271-liter load. Four pilots and ground crew treat a variety...
Tactical Robotics CEO Yoeli describes aerial application with the Ag Cormorant as a robotic partnership. The autonomous drone pairs with a specialized “robotic truck” that automatically reloads the drone with chemicals and refuels it. One human supervisor will be required to operate the system. Once the drone has finished spraying a field, it lands...
Air Tractor’s Hirsch says the cost associated with developing unmanned aircraft capable of performing aerial application at scale along with the absence of any regulatory, legal or insurance framework are what’s keeping his company from creating its own aerial application drone. “Buying an airplane like ours is $1 million to $1.7 million,” Hirsch s...
Sep 7, 2023 · Even today outside of military flying, agricultural aviation is considered the most dangerous form of aviation with incidents reported than in commercial flight. On the ground a person called the “flagman” would stand in the field helping direct a pilot to the portions of fields that needed application.
