Because spray clouds from tower sprayers can be directed horizontally or inclined toward the tree canopy, spray deposition and coverage on targets are less variable from tower sprayers than conventional air-blast sprayers. That capability also minimizes the amount of sprays that are carried above target canopies. 2, record 1, English, - tower%20sprayer

En matière de pulvérisation, il est important de s’approcher le plus près possible de la cible à atteindre. Ce type de pulvérisateur permet d’entraîner les gouttelettes très près du feuillage en produisant un jet horizontal. Un bon ajustement du pulvérisateur et la fermeture des buses dont le jet pourrait passer au-dessus de la végétation permettent alors de contenir les gouttelettes dans la végétation. Plusieurs manufacturiers proposent une version de pulvérisateur de type tour. Certains designs permettent d’incliner la section supérieure de la tour vers le bas et ainsi de maintenir la pulvérisation dans le couvert végétal. L’utilisation d’un tel pulvérisateur permet une réduction de la dérive de 50 %. 2, record 1, French, - pulv%C3%A9risateur%20de%20type%20tour

A target tug is an aircraft which tows a drone or otherwise unmanned target, for the purposes of gun or missile target practice. Target tugs are often conversions of transport and utility aircraft, as well as obsolescent combat types. Target Tugs, such as [the] de Havilland Vampire are often painted in high visibility colors to differentiate themselves from the targets they tow. 5, record 2, English, - target%20towing%20aircraft
