In-House
Engineering
We design
and manufacture all of our specialty equipment in-house – both airborne and
ground-based. Since Aerial Application is our only business, we can focus our
efforts on developing the most advanced and efficient equipment for our one
industry. Drawing on our company’s years of field experience, while utilizing
the latest 3D solid modeling CAD software, our Engineering Department can
design and prototype innovative ideas in very short time frames. This ability
allows us to better serve our customers with a 'Never-Compromise' position on
using the best equipment for the job.
Frankly,
since we are such a focused business we need to be at the forefront of our
industry’s development; researching and experimenting with new ideas and
technologies. It was this drive that led to our partnership with Trimble
Navigation, working closely with their engineers to help develop the TrimFlight
II and TrimFlight III GPS Guidance Systems.
Every one
of our helicopters is equipped with the state-of-the-art TrimFlight III GPS
Guidance System. This offers our pilots real-time DGPS Parallel Swath Guidance,
Application Recording and a Moving Map Display with Background Image Layering.
