  • Aerial chemical application and control method
    Patent number: 7143980
    Abstract: A chemical distribution control and guidance system operates for controlling the distribution of airborne product via an aircraft passing over a target. A weather station is positioned at various altitudes for use in determining an appropriate aircraft altitude for distributing the chemical to the target. A second weather station positioned near the target transmits weather data in real time to a central communications station and the aircraft for providing guidance in accurately, safely and effectively distributing chemicals onto the target.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 28, 2004
    Date of Patent: December 5, 2006
    Assignee: Adapco, Inc.
    Inventors: Larry D. Heller, William H. Reynolds, E. Doug Jones
  • Chemical application and flight guidance control system and method
    Patent number: 6799740
    Abstract: A chemical distribution such as a mosquito control guidance system is operable for controlling the distribution of airborne product via an aircraft passing over a target field. The system includes a weather station carried by a helium balloon positioned at aircraft altitude which communicates with a ground weather station positioned at or near the target field for transmitting weather data in real time to a central communications station and the aircraft for providing guidance in accurately, safely and effectively distributing chemicals onto the target field.
