Agricultural aircraft are highly specialized, purpose-built aircraft. Today’s agricultural aircraft is often powered by turbine engines of up to 1500hp and can carry as much as 800 gallons of crop protection product. These aircraft use sophisticated precision application equipment such as GPS (global positioning systems), GIS (geographical information systems), flow control valves for variable rate applications, and smokers to identify wind speed and directions.
