Among the capabilities required in a good jump plane? The ability to carry a full stick of skydivers, and take them to altitude as quickly as possible—and return to base just as fast for another load. The Kodiak 100 has applied for this mission, with its healthy cabin capacity and a time-to-climb to 12,000 feet of roughly 9 minutes, and 30 seconds, according to Daher.
