The helicopter, due to its suitability, the possibility of low and slow flight, and the ability to land in almost any place outside the airport, has proven to be an effective means of applying various types of fertilizers and sprays against pests of crops worldwide. The advantage over agricultural flight by conventional aircrafts is mainly the possibility of take-offs and landings for refueling of petrol and sprayed substances practically near the treated area, and thus increasing the economic efficiency of such operations when the overflight times from the take-off and landing point to the target area are reduced to a minimum. HELITOM s.r.o. has experienced pilots and aviation technology ideal for this type of activity.
Thanks to the possibility of installing the approved Apollo DTM – 4 on our Robinson R44 Raven II, our company is ready to provide efficient and economical flights for agricultural purposes..
The DTM-4 system is a light, solid, standalone spray system specifically designed for use on a Robinson R44 helicopter. The basic part of the system is a polyethylene suspension tank with a capacity of 303 liters, suspended on the helicopter chassis near the supporting points in the aluminum alloy frame.
