Abstract

An aircraft fluid application system (10) includes a structure (16), and nozzles (14) coupled to the structure and able to move in relation to the structure. The structure may be a fixed structure, or may be a movable structure. The nozzles may be mounted on one or more nozzle supports (20). Separate nozzle supports may be positioned independently, for example being at different heights above the ground. The nozzle supports may also have other equipment mounted on them, such as a cab (34) that is occupied by operator, and various sensors (38), such as video cameras, ice detection cameras, proximity sensors, and systems and/or devices for detecting edges of the aircraft. The fluid application system may be able to operate automatically to apply fluid, such as deicing fluid. The cameras may examine the aircraft during the application (spraying) of the fluid, using feedback from the examining to control the spraying.
