Last updated: July 2026

The Hylio AG-272 is Hylio's largest professional agricultural spray drone, carrying a 27-litre tank and designed for high-throughput operations on mid-to-large farms. Like all Hylio platforms, the AG-272 is manufactured in the United States — one of the very few American-built agricultural drones on the market — making it compliant for government farms, defence-adjacent operations, and growers who need to avoid foreign-manufactured technology under NDAA restrictions. The AG-272's AG-PILOT flight management software handles autonomous route planning, terrain following, wind compensation, and return-to-home with refill notifications. Coverage reaches approximately 18–22 acres per hour in standard field conditions. Hylio provides full dealer support, operator training, and a repair network across North America.
