Today's Industry

Agricultural aviation plays a big role in the production of the world's food, fiber, biofuels and the protection of forestry resources. Agricultural aviators also help protect the public by combating mosquitoes carrying West Nile Virus, encephalitis and other diseases. Aerial application accounts for almost 25% of commercial crop protection applications and nearly 100% of commercial forest protection applications. Aerial application is the fastest, most efficient and economical way to apply crop protection products.

@danielhenriquetostes What?, the difference that an 802 drags it's arse and a dromader goes good as?

[rockvagos1]

@holdzy19 yea man true I also love the long nose on them makes it look pretty deadly and hell yea droms rule :p

[holdzy19]

To everyone that doesn't like dromaders: ALPHA MIKE FOXTROTT

(Watch the movie of the A-team to find out what that means.....)

@rockvagos1 true, a tpe 331-12 makes the dromader perform good tpe 331 -14, now thats something i would agree on, it would turn the dromader into a sportscar that leaves the 802 FOR DEAD. But tpe 331's are cheap, no air filter, lots of maintence, compressers breakdown alot and they scream when their on the ground. but still, makes the dromader perform good, thats main thing

[rockvagos1]

Yes mate they sure do but pt6 isn't as productive as a dash 12 garret they use less fuel and I have to say I love the long nose ;)

[holdzy19]

@rockvagos1 yeah bud, but a dromader with a -65 pt6, would be the ultimate. Air tractors that were designed to have a turbine have little wings causing them to need lots of runway, can't fill 'em right up in the hopper. but for a short answer, they drag their arse along to much :)

[rockvagos1]

Nah mate try a turbine dromader it can carry 3000L which your 802 will never carry without struggling and they arnt even certified to carry that amount of substance like the delta turbine conversion for the dromader
