Spray Pattern and Drift from Two Types of nozzles used for Helicopter Spraying
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 June 2017
Abstract
A Whirl jet nozzle and a flat, fan-type nozzle produced similar spray patterns when used for aerial spraying so that no reduction in drift could be obtained by the use of either nozzle. Wind speeds of 3 to 4 mph caused drift more than 80 ft to the leeward of the flight line with both nozzles.
