Abstract:
1. A system improvement aboard an aircraft for controlled aerial distribution of a first substance and a second substance into any spraystream of the first substance, onto a target area of substratum or portions thereof, the aircraft including a first subsystem comprising a first reservoir means of holding the first substance awaiting distribution, a first lateral distribution means defining a first substance distribution chamber for distributing the first substance laterally from the aircraft fuselage and including a plurality of first exit point means arrayed periodically thereupon and allowing release of the first substance in a spraystream into the air outside the first substance distribution chamber, and first fluid communication means between the first reservoir means and the first exit point means, said first fluid communication means including a spray valve activated by a lever, the system improvement comprising a second subsystem comprising a second reservoir means holding the second substance awaiting distribution, a second lateral distribution means defining a second substance distribution chamber for distributing the second substance adjacent the first exit point means and including a plurality of second exit point means arrayed periodically thereupon and allowing release of the second substance into any spraystream of the first substance from the first exit point means, and a second fluid communication means between the second reservoir means and the second exit point means and comprising a second pump means between the second reservoir means and the second exit point means, whereas lever activation of the spray valve concurrently activates the second pump means.
