HELP & ASSUMPTIONS

Purpose
Estimates elapsed time to spray a rectangular agricultural field with a drone.
Blue fields
Change only blue input fields. Calculated helper values remain internal.
Headland passes
A value of 1 sprays one swath around the perimeter before filling the interior.
Ferry distance
Enter the average one-way distance between the drone refill location and filling area.
Unit system
Metric uses metres, hectares and litres. Imperial uses feet, acres and U.S. gallons. Switching units does not convert existing values.
Limitations
This is a planning approximation. Actual performance depends on aircraft settings, payload, wind, obstacles, route design and operating delays.
