The Journal of the Royal Aeronautical Society, 1960
The first International Agricultural Aviation Conference, held at the College of Aeronautics at Cranfield between the 15th and 18th of September 1959, was well timed to mark one stage in the development of the art of airborne farming—it was the stage when the art ceased to be mainly experimental and became essentially a commercial business ...

Efficient Ethanol Engines in Agricultural Aviation
SAE Technical Paper Series, 2010<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">The aim of this paper is to show that the gains, technical and/or economical, from the use of ethanol as fuel in agricultural aviation may be even greater if the aircraft engine is specially designed for that purpose.

Evolution of Agricultural Aviation in Brazil
Outlooks on Pest Management, 2015Brazil has experienced an enormous investment and expansion in agriculture over the last 5 years with the opening up of large farms in various regions of the country. As an example, according to DERAL (2013), the total production of soybeans in Brazil increased by 27.5% from 2009 to 2013, while the average growth in total production for this crop ...

Agricultural Aviation Potentials for Asia
The Journal of the Royal Aeronautical Society, 1964This contribution to the proceedings of the Agricultural Section of the Society is intended: —(a) To describe a problem in agricultural logistics which when solved should help developing countries in Asia to increase their food production, especially of rice.(b) To suggest that the problem could be solved from the air.(c) To offer some layman’s ...

Future Developments in Agricultural Aviation
The Journal of the Royal Aeronautical Society, 1961When one considers future developments in Agricultural Aviation there are two questions which need explaining from the past and present and they are difficult to reconcile with one another. One is “Why did not agricultural aviation come into fairly general use 40 years ago in, say, 1920?” The other is “Why has it begun to come into general use now?”

Flammability of Petroleum Liquids in Agricultural Aviation
The Aeronautical Journal, 1971The spraying of crops using light aircraft or helicopters poses a number of problems or hazards to the agricultural aviation industry. The toxicity hazard to humans and to neighbouring crops, due to drift, have already been considered in detail in previous symposia and much information is available on this subject. Another hazard which has not received

World Developments and Activities in Agricultural Aviation
The Aeronautical Journal, 1971When I accepted the invitation, to speak at this meeting on “Some Outstanding Developments and Activities” it was presumed that in preparing this paper, it would be possible for me to make a selective use of information presented at our IVth International Agricultural Aviation Congress held in August 1969 in Canada.

Testing distribution equipment for agricultural aviation
The Aeronautical Journal, 1977‘Testing distribution equipment’ is a simple enough tide, deceptively so, and the superficial simplicity of our subject has in my view been misleading and somewhat detrimental to agricultural aviation development. With this remark made, I will now try to justify it and explain why I think that testing is in fact reasonably complex, even though, because

The Economics of Agricultural Aviation in New Zealand
The Journal of the Royal Aeronautical Society, 1966Until the middle of this century farmers had been benefiting from New Zealand's 31 million acres of pastureland without applying any fertiliser to the soil.During 1948-49 the Government realised the urgent requirement for aerial fertilising to restore this soil to its correct chemical balance and the Royal New Zealand Air Force was made responsible for
