Abstract
The increasing importance of agricultural aviation can best be judged by a table setting out the area treated in the U.S.A., U.S.S.R., U.K. and other countries, which was compiled from recent publications. Fig. 1 shows how important a sector of aviation agricultural aviation has become.Like other aircraft operations, agricultural aviation is not particularly profitable. Therefore a certain amount of work has gone into economic studies and into development work on methods for improving the service rendered to agriculture in order to improve the economy of aircraft operation.Keywords
