What makes an Aerial Work aviation aircraft a workhorse? The unobserved answer is the hardware and software that converts a General Aviation (GA) or Executive Jet into an aircraft that goes beyond flying people for hobby or transporting tourists to their next holiday.

The kit & equipment of Aerial Work aviation is the “game-changer” when providing down-to-earth services that make a significant difference in many industries. Suppose you want to know what makes a basic airplane a workhorse. In that case, Patrick Ryan will guide you through the “specification” of the primary kit & equipment that makes a basic aircraft into something other than an aerial transport vehicle.

At the beginning of aviation history, it became apparent man wanted to do more than take a passenger or airmail from point A to point B, but leverage the latest technology to satisfy curious ideas or gain a business advantage. The world of Aerial Work (AW) aviation came about because of this passion or hindsight to utilize aircraft (manned & unmanned) with special kits & equipment to go beyond the basics of just transporting people or goods.

Along with this, the kit & equipment of Aerial Work aviation has evolved over the decades from simple mechanical devices, components, and instruments to disruptive deep-tech or high-tech systems. Like the world in general, Aerial Work aviation has definitely transitioned from the “Analog” ages to the “Digital” era with many more options and capabilities that the Wright Brothers could never have imagined.

With the advantages of digitalization, systems, and components are smaller, lighter, and relatively inexpensive to obtain and operate. Because of this, complex mission or utility equipment is no longer an afterthought or wish. The primary operational kit & equipment aboard Aerial Work aircraft is readily available to small and large Aerial Work firms, i.e., it’s no longer something militaries or governments could only afford. Furthermore, to put things into perspective, some of the high-end kit & equipment used today are often more expensive than the aircraft itself.

To understand what precisely is the kit & equipment of Aerial Work aviation, let’s review the definition of AW kit & equipment and follow through with who makes and flies with these specialized components and systems.
