Key Takeaways:

Daher Aircraft has launched and FAA certified the Kodiak 900, a significantly faster and more powerful utility turboprop designed to excel in diverse on- and off-airport missions.
The aircraft achieves a maximum cruise speed of 210 ktas and 900 shp, thanks to a new Pratt & Whitney PT6A-140A engine, a five-blade composite propeller, and aerodynamic improvements like a streamlined cargo pod.
The Kodiak 900 maintains the range and endurance of its predecessor while offering an impressive useful load of 3,630 pounds, enhanced short-field capabilities, and features optimized for high utilization in challenging hot and high conditions.
Despite its increased speed and payload capacity, the new model boasts the same fuel efficiency as the Kodiak 100, aligning with Daher's commitment to sustainability.
