Description
The Kodiak is a single-engined turbine aircraft, capable of up to 750hp during take off. This, like the Cessna 206, enables this unique plane aircraft to take off on short airstrips and so is ideal to fly in the jungle, mountain, and desert regions of the world, delivering cargo and passengers to isolated areas. HPointed cowling maximises the Kodiak's take-off thrust, and the 4-blade 96-inch propeller contributes to the same goal while having a 19-inch clearance to allow taxiing on rough terrain. Its restricted wingspan permits turning in the tight confines of a small airstrip, and its discontinuous leading edge helps control the aircraft dramatically on slow approaches. The landing gear is easily removed for conversion to float operation. And in the utility version, facilities are also easily juggled - from passenger to cargo to half-and-half. Doors open exceptionally wide to enable patients on stretchers to be boarded easily, and there is a ready supply of spare parts. The 750-horsepower Pratt & Whitney PT6A-34 turboprop engine is able to pull the aircraft along at a 180-knot cruising speed. Landing is at 60 knots. Load is up to nine passengers. The plane carries up to 320 gallons of fuel - so it can fly up to 1,200 nautical miles before refuelling. And a display on the aircraft panel shows the pilot a real-time image of surrounding terrain, enabling the plane to be guided easily around heavy storms.
