http://www.sportaviationmagazine.com – 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. http://www.sportaviationmagazine.com Video and Audio content is Copyright © Sport Aviation Magazine.
