What is the main purpose of baffles inside a liquid spray tank?

The main purpose of baffles inside a liquid spray tank is to reduce sloshing of the liquid during flight. When an aerial applicator is in motion, particularly at lower altitudes or during turns, the liquid in the tank can shift and slosh around, potentially affecting the stability and maneuverability of the aircraft. Baffles help to disrupt this movement by creating compartments within the tank, which minimizes the liquid's ability to shift abruptly. This stabilization is crucial for maintaining an even flow of the spray and ensuring that the application remains consistent and accurate. By controlling the movement of the liquid, baffles contribute to safer flight and more effective pesticide application.
