Some days ago, on a sunny winter evening, a Sydney person proposed marriage to the partner via skywriting visible over our garden. It's expensive at a minimum of A3,500 (US2,275)! Hope the partner accepted the proposal! See the plane at top right
Skywriting is the process of using one or more small aircraft, able to expel special smoke during flight, to fly in certain patterns that create writing readable from the ground. These messages can be advertisements, general messages of celebration or goodwill, personal messages such as a marriage proposals and birthday wishes, or acts of protest.
The typical smoke generator consists of a pressurized container of viscosity oil, such as Chevron/Texaco Canopus 13 (formerly Corvus Oil). The oil is injected into the hot exhaust manifold, vaporizing it into a huge volume of dense white smoke.
Relatively few pilots have the skills to skywrite legibly. Also, wake turbulence and wind disperse and shear the smoke, causing the writing to blur and twist, usually within a few minutes. For these reasons, computer-controlled skytyping has been developed where multiple small aircraft, flying in line abreast formation, write in dot-matrix fashion, creating messages that can be much longer, and legible for longer periods, than those of traditional skywriting.
If winds are strong, visibility of the skywriting can vary from a seconds to 5-10 minutes. How Much Does It Cost Do Skywriting Message? Skywriting starts at A$3,500 for a single writing, plus any ferry fees to move aircraft into your desired location. Multiple writings per day can be discounted depending on location. R_34402
