Has been developing the PZL-126P Mrowka very small single-seat agricultural aircraft (first flown 1990), with the unusual feature of detachable wingtip spray tanks with atomizers for low-volume spraying.
Single seat single engined flex wing aircraft with weight shift control. Rogallo wing with keel pocket. Pilot suspended below wing in trike unit, using bar to control pitch and yaw/roll by altering relative positions of trike unit and wing. Wing braced from above by kingpost and cables, from below by cables; rigid cross tube construction with single surface (33% double surface optional); not enclosing cross tube; pre formed ribs. Undercarriage has three wheels in tricycle formation; rubber suspension on all wheels. Push-right go left nosewheel steering independent from yaw control. Brake on nosewheel. Aluminium tube trike unit, without pod. Engine mounted below wing driving pusher propeller.
Designed by Patrice Renaud with the assistance of M Michelot and C Cardineau, the prototype Agriplane flew for the first time in February 1981, which makes it the first agricultural weight shift microlight in the world. Patrice was the victim of an accident in the course of a flight on another machine which laid him up for a long time, which explains why the machine was shown at the aeronautical and space salon at Le Bourget in June 1981, even though the first Agriplane Condors were not sold until March 1982.
Essentially intended for use as an agricultural tool, this microlight can nevertheless be fitted with a second seat and used as a tandem two seater dual control machine. A kit allows for this dual control adaption. The Condor is supplied with a glass fibre seat with a foam covering which forms the 23.8 US gal (19.8 Imp gal, 90.0 litre) tank for the spray medium. An autonomous hand controlled electric pump supplies the medium to the two spray booms mounted either side of the trike. Three lengths of boom were offered 19.8, 26.6 and 39.5ft (6.0, 9.0 and 12.0 m) fitted together with quick release couplings, which allows their fitment in 3 min. Interchangeable atomisers allow the amount of product sprayed to be varied between 1.0 and 2.0 US gal/acre (0.84.6 Imp gal/acre, 15.30 litre/ hectare).

Formed 1995 from former Maiden Ag-Craft Inc. to manufacture Ag-Cat agricultural biplane (first flown May 1957 as Grumman AgCat).
The circa 2003 Toy Cat is a highly modified Grumman Ag-Cat cropduster. Modifications include a one-piece canopy, tandem seating, cowl ring, spring-steel undercarriage with wheel pants and more.
The AeroMaster AG is a complete light aerial ag system designed by a farmer for farmers. Using only 5 gallons of fuel per hour while covering 150-200 acres per hour gives low operating cost per acre. The SprayMiser rotary atomizer nozzle system provides a cost-effective technology for applying pesticides.
The AeroMaster is a low-wing, amateur-built aircraft with a 4130 chromoly steel fuselage frame. The welded fuselage accommodates all other components by a series of tabs to which the components are bolted. The wing’s construction with internal diagonal bracing has supported over +6 and -4 G in static load testing. Aluminum ribs placed in pockets in the dacron covering shape the airfoil. Standard three-axis control: conventional rudder pedals, throttle quadrant and joy-stick controlled ailerons and elevator are fitted.
The aircraft includes the Spray Miser CDA Ag system and 30 USG chemical tank, covering up to 120 acres.

With an agreement between Industrias Unidas SA of Mexico and Rockwell International, Aeronautica Agricola Mexicana SA (AAMSA) was formed in 1971 to take over from Rockwell manufacture of the Aero Commander Quail Commander and Sparrow Commander agricultural aircraft. They had identical airframes but differed mainly by engine fit. The Sparrow Commander was powered by a 235 hp (175 kW) Lycoming O-540-B2B5 engine, while the Quail was fitted with the more powerful IO-540 engine. Both the Sparrow Commander and Quail Commander were available with liquid spray or dust disperdsal gear, or with a quick change combination dust or spray unit. Production of both types ended in the USA in 1970.
Construction of the Sparrow Commander continued in Mexico, as the AAMSA Sparrow. Only very small numbers had been built by 1975, when production was terminated. Only spares were manufactured in Mexico by AAMSA.
Manufacture then switched to the Quail Commander in 1971, designated A9B-M Quail. 101 A9B were built in Mexico, and by January 1982 26 A9B-M had been built.
The Quail was a braced low-wing monoplane of composite construction. Its wings were based on wooden spars, with metal leading-edge skins and the remainder of the structure fabric covered; fuselage and tail unit were steel tube structures with fabric covering. The wings are Clark Y airfoil. The non-retractable tailwheel had shock absorbtion. The engine had a fixed pitch or optional variable-pitch propeller. The Quail had an enclosed cabin with a steel-tube overturn structure, cable cutters on the landing gear and windscreen, a cable deflector between the canopy and the tail fin, and proivision for avionics and night flying equipment. A 22.5 cu.ft (0.64 cu.m) glassfibre/polyester chemical hopper was fitted as standard with a capacity of 170 USG (643 lt) of liquid or 1200 lb (545 kg) of dry powder chemicals.
The Quail was manufactured in component form at the Industrias Unidas industrial complex at Pasteje in Mexico for assembly and marketing by its associated Aircraft Parts and Development Corp. in Laredo, Texas. By 1978 43 Quails had been built.
