The Air Tractor AT-1002 is a single-seat agricultural and firefighting aircraft made by American aircraft manufacturer Air Tractor. The aircraft is the company's largest, with a takeoff and landing weight of 20,000 pounds and useful load of 10,800 pounds. The aircraft can carry over 1,060[clarification needed] of fire retardant or 335 gallons of agricultural spray.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

The aircraft is an advanced version of the Air Tractor AT-802 and is designed to be able to carry a higher payload than its predecessors. Its main role is to replace aging or retired aircraft.[1][7][8]

The aircraft first flew in 2009. Deliveries of the type began in 2010. In 2013, it served as a testbed for the Electronics International MVP-50T Engine Analyzer.[8][9]

In 2022, it was revealed that the 1002 model was undergoing a redesign, and initial prototypes were released.[10]
