Turboprop Business Aircraft

Taking maximum advantage of today’s turboprop technology, the TBM 960 provides high efficiency for more sustainability. Its digitally-controlled turboprop engine enables the pilot to use precise settings in flying with maximum efficiency. Safety also is paramount with the most advanced cockpit available today.

The Kodiak 900 fills out Daher’s product line, joining its utility-category Kodiak 100 sibling along with the TBM 910 and TBM 960 very fast turboprop aircraft. Inheriting the Kodiak’s remarkable qualities as a backcountry STOL (short takeoff/landing) and multi-role airplane, the Kodiak 900 marks a further step with its fuselage length extension of 3.9 feet to provide more passenger room and cargo space, a cruise speed increase to 210 KTAS, and a greater useful load while offering a maximum range of 1,129 nm.

The Kodiak 100 Series III is a 10-seat all-terrain multi-purpose aircraft used worldwide by air taxi operators, businesses, pilot-owners and humanitarian organizations. With a high wing configuration, non-pressurized cabin and a sturdy fixed landing gear, it is perfectly suited for operations on short, rough strips. When equipped with floats, it can land on water, allowing it to serve areas without ground infrastructure.

The TBM 910 combines the speeds of a light jet with the operating costs and range of a turboprop aircraft. It is equipped with a Garmin G1000 NXi avionics system controlled by a physical keypad. Its TBM e-copilot® system, including an icing detection system, lowers the pilot’s workload with automation – facilitating operation with a single power level. Its totally-reconfigurable cabin offers comfort and connectivity to the passengers.

The TBM 910 and TBM 960 are perfectly tailored for a full range of special missions. They provide fast, all-weather airborne platforms for surveillance operations and aerial photography, with very competitive, cost-performance ratios compared to existing solutions. Quickly reconfigurable, these aircraft also can perform more traditional missions – such as transporting VIPs, airlifting light cargo loads and performing medical evacuation.

Kodiak was designed from the start as a rugged, simple-to-fly airlift platform: flexible, sustainable, and tailored for a full range of special mission applications, with easy convertibility to accommodate passengers, cargo and mission systems.
It brings together STOL (short takeoff and landing) capability from off-airport and high-altitude sites with excellent persistence and payload: up to 10-hour loiter times and a useful load of 3,530 lbs.
The high-wing aircraft is equipped with a tall, sturdy landing gear for even the roughest terrain, and can be fitted with 29-inch main gear tires. Kodiak also has the engineered-in capability for water operations on amphibious floats without structural or aerodynamic upgrades, and the airframe’s industry-leading anti-corrosion process provides protection in high salinity environments.
Kodiak’s unpressurized aluminum fuselage has a large pallet-sized cargo bay door (49.25 x 49.25 in.) to facilitate the loading/unloading of passengers, stretchers, and cargo; while separate doors provide direct access to the cockpit for pilots.
The large cabin is sized for 10 seats, which are track-mounted and easily movable/removable for reconfiguration. Kodiak’s fuselage cross-section and length easily accommodates multiple workstations and related mission equipment.
