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

The purpose of baffles inside a liquid spray tank is to reduce sloshing of the liquid during flight. When an aircraft maneuvers, the liquids in the tank can shift suddenly, which might affect the balance and control of the aircraft. Baffles are designed to create compartments or barriers within the tank, helping to dampen the movement of the liquid. This stabilization ensures that the weight distribution remains more consistent during operations, allowing for smoother handling and better control of the aircraft, especially in dynamic flying conditions.

While ease of cleaning, liquid color enhancement, and temperature control may be beneficial in different contexts, these are not relevant to the primary function of baffles in addressing the specific challenges posed by liquid movement in aerial applications.
