Utility Aircraft Missions
Charter private jets and helicopters aren’t just for corporate business trips or pleasure. There are a lot of utility applications for aircraft, from cargo transportation with our helicopters and jets capable of heavy lifting to aerial firefighting. Utility aircraft can be either airplanes or helicopters and have a wide variety of uses, including transporting people, supplies, and cargo.
A utility aircraft is usually either a general-purpose helicopter or light airplane, but there are a wide variety of utility aircraft missions that may need different types of aircraft. HeliJet Solutions, therefore, offers a wide variety of both private jets and helicopters available for charter, including those capable of carrying heavy loads and large equipment and those capable of applying materials like pesticides or water from the air.
Whether you need an aircraft for transporting cargo or large equipment for a construction job or for an aerial application mission like crop dusting or aerial fire fighting, HeliJet Solutions will have an aircraft that will suit your needs. We offer both helicopters and airplanes for a variety of utility aircraft missions and will be able to provide the best aircraft for the job you need to be done.
HeliJet Solutions is dedicated to ensuring that we have the aircraft that will meet your needs. We will also manage every part of your charter, from the moment the cargo or any passengers arrive at the moment of landing or delivery. We have skilled professional staff and pilots waiting to help you with any utility aircraft mission that you may have.
Utility Construction Missions
Some construction jobs involve large amounts of cargo and supplies or even extremely large equipment. In these cases, the cargo and equipment themselves make ground transportation difficult. Bulky or heavy equipment can be far more easily transported with a helicopter or private jet that is designed for heavy lifting.
Aerial Application Missions
HeliJet Solutions is dedicated to meeting your agricultural aerial application needs. Whether you’re needing an aircraft for seed dowing, crop dusting, or aerial topdressing, we’ll have an airplane or helicopter that will be able to meet your needs.
Airborne Firefighting Missions
Wildfires are a normal part of the climate in some parts of the world, such as in California and Australia. However, any location could potentially be at risk. Hot weather combined with a lack of rainfall can contribute to the conditions required for a fire to break out. These fires can be highly dangerous, taking people’s lives and causing millions of dollars in damage. If they can’t be prevented, then we can use every means at our disposal to fight fires and prevent their spread as well as mitigate the potential damage and losses.
Chartering an aircraft for your heavy lifting is also a better solution for when the location makes ground transportation difficult. Urban areas have a lot of traffic and an aircraft can more easily maneuver within the urban environment to deliver the equipment and cargo exactly where it needs to go. For rural projects, sometimes there aren’t roads good enough for transporting goods to the construction site. A helicopter or private jet charter can take your cargo and equipment as well as any passengers needed on the site to where they need to be quickly and more easily.
HeliJet Solutions offers a variety of sizes of both helicopters and jets so we can meet the diverse range of needs of our customers. Lighter aircraft can be chartered for transporting passengers to a construction site so they can perform their jobs or for aerial surveillance and inspection of equipment. Our heavier aircraft can transport heavy equipment and cargo or a mix of cargo and passengers. For public utility missions, our aircraft can be used to lay and inspect utilities like power lines and pipelines. No matter what your construction or utility mission needs are, HeliJet Solutions will have a helicopter or airplane that can meet your needs, whether they involve heavy lifting, bulky equipment, passenger transport, or aerial inspections and whether the utility or construction site involved is urban or rural.
Even before the invention of aircraft, people were using airborne methods for applying pesticides and fertilizer to their crops. The earliest recorded aerial application mission by a New Zealand man in 1906 who used a hot air balloon to spread seed over a valley floor in Wairoa. Crop dusting was first developed in 1921 by the US Agriculture Department in a joint effort with the US Army Signal Corp and was commercial crop-dusting operations later began in 1924. The 1940s then saw the introduction of aerial topdressing, which is the spread of fertilizer across farmland.
Aerial application has been a major part of agriculture for more than a hundred years. HeliJet Solutions offers aircraft, both helicopters and airplanes, that are capable of aerial applications, whatever that application is. Our aircraft can be used for a variety of airborne agricultural needs, from seed sowing to crop dusting and aerial topdressing.
Aerial application can require some specialized equipment on the aircraft that is capable of carrying the fertilizer, seeds, pesticides, or other materials on the exterior of the aircraft. They also must be able to spray any fertilizers or pesticides so that they reach all of the crops. Originally, crop dusting did involve dust, which is where it got its name, but today liquid fertilizers and pesticides, including insecticides and fungicides, are used to protect crops.
HeliJet Solutions has aircraft available to assist in airborne firefighting missions wherever they’re needed. Aerial firefighting is a major tactic used in the process of fighting a wildfire. Aircraft can be used for a variety of tasks in aiding firefighting efforts. These include aerial supervision of the firefighting process, delivering smokejumpers and rappellers to where they’re needed, and dropping fire retardant chemicals, water, and foam or gel water enhancers.
A major wildfire will need a lot of effort to contain and aircraft may also be involved in the process of creating a fire line to prevent its spread. Wildfires also aren’t the only type of fire. Fires that occur in tall buildings that fire trucks and firefighters on the ground can’t easily reach can be attacked from the air much more easily.
HeliJet Solutions is dedicated to ensuring that we can provide the aircraft, including both jets and helicopters, are available to fight fires whenever and wherever they come up. Whatever the fire fighting needs are, from aerial application of water or other fire retardants to delivering the necessary supplies for firefighters to do their work, we’ll have the right aircraft for the job.
