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.
