We are honored to participate in another important flight for the Brazilian aerial application industry. Last month, we were at Agroefetiva's High Speed Wind Tunnel to evaluate some of our rotary atomizers and other projects under development, becoming the first Brazilian manufacturer of aerial spraying nozzles to finance a project with the laboratory. The structure is innovative and was a necessary technology for our country, which already has the second largest agricultural aviation fleet in the world, but still did not have a research structure that was on par with the national industry.
Zanoni Equipamentos inaugurated this type of work among Brazilian manufacturers in 2021, when it carried out the first tests at the PAT-LAB at the University of Nebraska. Last year, we also participated in a project with the US Department of Agriculture. We understand that TVAV will be a priceless contribution to agricultural aviation in Brazil, helping the entire industry to better develop application technologies, in a way that ensures greater efficiency and sustainability in the field.
In this first project, we evaluated our new Z 80224 atomizers in comparison with our old Z 50224 model and also our new line of mini atomizers for small agricultural aircraft. The results will be released soon, on our networks and at the SINDAG scientific congress. We emphasize that these studies are carried out to evaluate the spraying (everything that "leaves the plane") and not the application (everything that "reaches the target"), and it is essential for the operator to continue calibrating their aircraft.
