During 1917 the principal German fighters of the time were losing their superiority and the German Air Command called for a fighter competition to develop a new fighter.

The prototype Envoy (G-ACMT – c/n 17), a direct development of the Airspeed Courier, first flew on 26 June 1934 with Wolseley AR.9 Mk II nine-cylinder radial engines, and models were proposed with Gnome-Rhone Titan Major 7Kd radials, or the Wright R-760-E2 Whirlwind engine.

In June 1981 Airbus Industrie announced that it was developing a 150-seat short/medium-range transport with deliveries to commence in 1988. Within a few days Air France announced it had signed a preliminary contract for 25 examples of the new airliner, known as the A320, with 25 options.

By 1981 the advantages of turbine-powered aircraft in the agricultural field were being realised throughout the world. Companies producing large agricultural aircraft considered ways of fitting their designs with turbine power plants to take advantage of more economical operation.

The A-320neo is a new variant of the A-320 series and is a development of earlier models of the narrow-body airliner, ‘neo’ meaning “new engine option”.

The AT-401 series was a development of the piston-engined AT-301 series and was the smallest of the series.

The A321 was designed by Airbus to basically compete against the Boeing 757, which at that time had been in service for some years.

On the drawing-board at Air Tractor at the same time as the 400 series was a new aircraft, which became known as the AT-503. The prototype (N7309X) first flew in April 1986 and had a wingspan of 14.6 m (48 ft), a 821-kw (1,100-shp) Pratt & Whitney PT6A-45R turboprop and

In about 2007 Air Tractor found there was a growing interest within the agricultural industry to train and prepare replacements for pilots who had been in the industry for many years and were coming to retirement time.

On 27 January 1986 Airbus authorised the final definition of two new projects known as TA-9 and TA-11, these later becoming respectively the A330 and A340 long-range airliners.

Another variation on the Air Tractor theme, the AT-602 was a single-seat low-wing agricultural aircraft, basically described as a 502A with a larger hopper, the prototype (N6084K – c/n 602-0337) flying for the first time on 1 December 1995, certification being completed in June the following year.

The A330-300 was the baseline variant with seating for 335 passengers in standard two class, but up to a max of 440 passengers could be carried.

The AT-802 series was an enlarged AT-503, having a length of 11.27 m (37 ft) and a wingspan of 17.68 m (58 ft), a hopper of 3,028 litres (666 Imp gals), and computer controlled hopper doors to drop the load of fire retardant as required when used in that role.

Air Bus Industrie recognised the need for a aircraft operating what was described as ‘long-thin’ routes and set about designing an aircraft capable of carrying 295 passengers in a three-class configuration over a distance of 13,250 km (8,233 miles), this being a four-engine wide-body which made its first flight in

Air Tractor has been in business since 1974 and has produced more aircraft for the agricultural aviation industry than any other company, its facility being at Olney in Texas.

On 26 September 1967 a Memorandum of Understanding was signed by the British, French and German Governments to cover the development of an Airbus-type aircraft with Rolls Royce RB207 engines. However, because of the absence of firm airline orders, the British Government withdrew in 1969, although Hawker Siddeley remained as
