Aerial application

Aerial application, or what is informally referred to as crop dusting, involves spraying crops with crop protection products from an agricultural aircraft.

See AeroLites Bearcat and Aerial application

AeroLites

AeroLites Inc. is an American aircraft manufacturer based in Welsh, Louisiana.

See AeroLites Bearcat and AeroLites

Agricultural aircraft

An agricultural aircraft is an aircraft that has been built or converted for agricultural use – usually aerial application of pesticides (crop dusting) or fertilizer (aerial topdressing); in these roles, they are referred to as "crop dusters" or "top dressers".

See AeroLites Bearcat and Agricultural aircraft

Aircraft engine

An aircraft engine, often referred to as an aero engine, is the power component of an aircraft propulsion system.

See AeroLites Bearcat and Aircraft engine

Airfoil

An airfoil (American English) or aerofoil (British English) is a streamlined body that is capable of generating significantly more lift than drag.

See AeroLites Bearcat and Airfoil

Aluminium

Aluminium (Aluminum in North American English) is a chemical element; it has symbol Al and atomic number 13.

See AeroLites Bearcat and Aluminium

Bracing (aeronautics)

In aeronautics, bracing comprises additional structural members which stiffen the functional airframe to give it rigidity and strength under load.

See AeroLites Bearcat and Bracing (aeronautics)

Clark Y airfoil

Clark Y is the name of a particular airfoil profile, widely used in general purpose aircraft designs, and much studied in aerodynamics over the years.

See AeroLites Bearcat and Clark Y airfoil

Conventional landing gear

Conventional landing gear, or tailwheel-type landing gear, is an aircraft undercarriage consisting of two main wheels forward of the center of gravity and a small wheel or skid to support the tail.

See AeroLites Bearcat and Conventional landing gear

Fuselage

The fuselage (from the French fuselé "spindle-shaped") is an aircraft's main body section.

See AeroLites Bearcat and Fuselage

Homebuilt aircraft

Homebuilt aircraft, also known as amateur-built aircraft or kit planes, are constructed by persons for whom this is not a professional activity.

See AeroLites Bearcat and Homebuilt aircraft

Monoplane

A monoplane is a fixed-wing aircraft configuration with a single mainplane, in contrast to a biplane or other types of multiplanes, which have multiple planes.

See AeroLites Bearcat and Monoplane

Polyethylene terephthalate

Polyethylene terephthalate (or poly(ethylene terephthalate), PET, PETE, or the obsolete PETP or PET-P), is the most common thermoplastic polymer resin of the polyester family and is used in fibres for clothing, containers for liquids and foods, and thermoforming for manufacturing, and in combination with glass fibre for engineering resins.

See AeroLites Bearcat and Polyethylene terephthalate

Rib (aeronautics)

In an aircraft, ribs are forming elements of the airframe structure of a wing, especially in traditional construction.

Rotax 532

The Rotax 532 is a two-stroke, two-cylinder, rotary valve engine, liquid-cooled, gear reduction-drive engine that was formerly manufactured by BRP-Rotax GmbH & Co. KG.

See AeroLites Bearcat and Rotax 532

Rotax 582

The Rotax 582 is a two-stroke, two-cylinder, rotary intake valve, oil-in-fuel or oil injection pump, liquid-cooled, gear reduction-drive aircraft engine manufactured by BRP-Rotax GmbH & Co. KG.

See AeroLites Bearcat and Rotax 582

Tractor configuration

In aviation, the term tractor configuration refers to an aircraft constructed in the standard configuration with its engine mounted with the propeller in front of it so that the aircraft is "pulled" through the air.

See AeroLites Bearcat and Tractor configuration

Two-stroke engine

A two-stroke (or two-stroke cycle) engine is a type of internal combustion engine that completes a power cycle with two strokes of the piston (one up and one down movement) in one revolution of the crankshaft.

See AeroLites Bearcat and Two-stroke engine

United States

The United States of America (USA or U.S.A.), commonly known as the United States (US or U.S.) or America, is a country primarily located in North America.
