Air Tractor AT-802 Family

The Air Tractor AT-802 is a family of large single-engine turboprop work aircraft built around an 800-gallon mission hopper. The tandem-seat AT-802 began as an aerial-firefighting design, while the single-seat AT-802A serves high-capacity agricultural application. Firefighting derivatives operate as land-based air tankers or amphibious water scoopers, and other variants perform specialized utility and government missions.
