The future of aerial application technology is around the corner with the R550X. Using GPS precision navigation, the R550X can spray entire fields in full autonomy following a pre-determined route. Without the presence of an onboard pilot, the R550X has a higher payload capacity and room for auxiliary fuel and spray tanks, allowing for longer spray stints than a conventional Robinson R44.
