An aircraft attached apparatus/method for spraying pesticides having two propeller
shafts attached to the aircraft. Each shaft has a full feathering propeller mounted
at the forward ends of the propeller shaft and a control cable extending to the
cockpit. High pressure pumps, typically piston pumps, are mounted on the aft ends
of each of the propeller shafts. The input side of the pumps are connected to a
tank, and the output side is connected to respective matrix spray boom assemblies.
The forward ends of each of the spray boom assemblies are connected to the output
side of each respective pump. Spray nozzles, typically impingement nozzles, are
attached to each of the aft ends of each spray boom. The high pressure pumps have
an electrically operated magnetic brake attached thereto, and each of the spray
boom assemblies have a pressure transmitter connected to a digital display in said aircraft.
