Manufacturer/AeroLites
Welsh LA 70591
AeroLites began producing ultralight aircraft in the early
1980s. In 1989 it purchased the design rights, manufacturing
rights, and tooling for the Ag Master from Jack Hutchison of
Hutchison aircraft. They then renamed the plane, the
AeroMaster.
The AeroMaster is a very unique aircraft
in that it is designed to be a very rugged and affordable
spray plane for farmers. In fact, I had the opportunity to
visit Louisiana and fly the AeroMaster. Powered by a Rotax
582 65 hp engine, loaded with chemical the aircraft jumped
off the ground in less than 250 feet. Climb rate was well
over 700 ft./m, and cruise speed came in at 75 mph. |

According to the manufacturer the plane will
pay for itself in less than four years, when compared to
having a commercial sprayer operator come in and spray your
property. The aircraft is
constructed of 4130 chromoly steel tubing, uses aluminum
ladder style construction in the wings, which are covered in
Dacron sailcloth. The plane is 18'5" long, 7 feet high and
has a wingspan of 28'7" with a total wing area of 145 ft.?.
This gives the aircraft, a wing loading up 6.86 pounds per
square foot.
When flown without the spray equipment
attached aircraft is quite capable of climbing at 1200
ft./m. Stall speed comes in at 25 mph. With the standard 10
gallon fuel tank. You have approximately 2 hours of flight
time, or roughly 150 mile range.
The spray tank is 30 gallons and has an
emergency dump system. Building time is between 120 and 200
hours. |
