The Air Tractor AT-802 is an American agricultural aircraft that can also be adapted for fire-fighting or armed roles. It first flew in the United States in October 1990 and is manufactured by Air Tractor. A chemical hopper sits between the engine firewall and the cockpit, and in the United States it is classed as a Type III Single Engine Air Tanker. The Fire Boss version uses Wipaire amphibious floats so that it can scoop water from a lake or river. Armed versions include the AT-802U, which became the basis of the L3Harris OA-1K Skyraider II chosen for the Armed Overwatch programme. It is powered by one Pratt and Whitney PT6A-67AG turboprop of 1,350 shaft horsepower, with an empty weight of 2,951 kg and a maximum takeoff weight of 7,257 kg.
