An agricultural aircraft is an aircraft that has been built or converted for agricultural use - usually aerial spraying of pesticides or fertiliser. In this role, they are commonly known as "crop dusters".


Purpose-built agricultural aircraft are typically small, simple, and rugged. Many have spraying systems built into their wings, and pumps are usually driven by wind turbines.

Thus the cropduster's relationship to the farmer is symbiotic and intensely important.
