Description
The Aero 15A Airborne Spray Tank was a system designed to disseminate insecticide and various liquid agents from a helicopter. With minor modifications, the system could be adapted to operate from ground vehicles or small agricultural aircraft.
The Aero 15A Spray Tank was cylindrical and constructed of heavy aluminum. Rounded nose and tail fairings provided minimum resistance under low speed aerodynamic conditions. The tank had a capacity of 31 gallons with 5 gallons of space reserved as a void. Spray action power was provided by a spherical pressure bottle with filtered compressed air or compressed nitrogen. The high-pressure gas supply was controlled by a pressure regulator that maintained 50 psi on the agent storage reservoir.
