Modeling Aircraft Spray Patterns

 

Numerous powerful software tools have been developed to model aircraft spray patterns as well as the likelihood of getting off-target drift from ground sprayers and agricultural spray aircraft. The complex nature of the modeling programs often prevents them from reaching the users most likely to benefit from them - the companies running spray aircraft and ground spraying equipment.

Let Droplet Technologies take the load and run the programs for you to set up the nozzles on your airplane or helicopter to produce the most accurate pattern possible. At least in theory! You can then conduct a spray trial to make sure that the theory matches reality and fine-tune the spray system.

Karl Mierzejewski (the owner of Droplet Technologies) was involved in evaluating the USDA's AgDISP (and its related program FSCBG) during his tenure at Penn State University. He also sat on the Scientific Advisory Panel for the EPA in its acceptance of AgDRIFT spray drift simulation program.
