International Classification:
B64D001/00, B64D001/18
US Classification:
244136
Abstract:
A combination of an aircraft and spraying apparatus for spraying suspensions or solutions having predetermined characteristics independent of the speed of the aircraft, the apparatus consisting of a mounting frame attached to the underside of the aircraft, a plurality of bearing braces attached to the frame and a propeller shaft mounted through the bearing braces. A full feathering propeller is mounted on the forward end with a control running to the cockpit of the aircraft, and a rotary piston type high pressure pump connected to the aft end of the propeller.

Abstract:
An aircraft attached apparatus/method for spraying pesticides having two propeller shafts attached to the aircraft. Each shaft has a full feathering propeller mounted at the forward ends of the propeller shaft and a control cable extending to the cockpit. High pressure pumps, typically piston pumps, are mounted on the aft ends of each of the propeller shafts. The input side of the pumps are connected to a tank, and the output side is connected to respective matrix spray boom assemblies. The forward ends of each of the spray boom assemblies are connected to the output side of each respective pump. Spray nozzles, typically impingement nozzles, are attached to each of the aft ends of each spray boom. The high pressure pumps have an electrically operated magnetic brake attached thereto, and each of the spray boom assemblies have a pressure transmitter connected to a digital display in said aircraft.
