About manufacturer

Founded in 1978 by Leland Snow, Air Tractor is a premier manufacturer specializing in agricultural, firefighting, and utility aircraft. Based in Olney, Texas, they are globally recognized for the AT-802, the world’s largest single-engine aircraft, which is widely used for aerial firefighting and crop dusting. The company also produces the AT-802U Sky Warden for military ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) missions in partnership with L3Harris. Their aircraft are predominantly powered by Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6 turboprop engines and utilize precision propellers from Hartzell Propeller. Air Tractor has historical roots tied to Snow Aeronautical and Rockwell-Standard (specifically the Thrush aircraft line), and they maintain a significant partnership with Fire Boss LLC for amphibious firefighting conversions.
