Impressive. Thanks for the links. And as with manned ag aircraft, muddy ground is a non-factor.
And also scary, seeing how the things can be programmed to fly autonomously, performing a wide variety of missions.
The big ground machines will still rule the spraying quality. More gallons of water per acre mean more thorough contact: 20 gallons versus 2 gallons, the results are obvious.
The T40 has to make 2 rounds (4 passes) to match one pass with a big 120’ boom on a ground rig.
I thought the same. There’s little discussion about the overall economics of drone spraying and efficacy of the spray at high concentrations vs dilute with a spray boom rig. That drone doesn’t carry much weight.
