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.

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?”

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 ...

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

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

Pilot Perceptions of Wire Strikes in Agricultural Aviation Operations
Aerospace Medicine and Human PerformanceINTRODUCTION: Agricultural aircraft operations are associated with unique challenges. In particular, these include maintaining awareness of obstacles associated with flight at very low altitudes. Wire strikes are a common cause of accidents in these operations. METHODS: Focus groups were completed during the 2022 Ag Aviation Expo hosted by the National
