Quest Aircraft's Kodiak 100 utility turbo-prop is scheduled for a promotional tour of the east coast of Australia next month.
Local distributor UtilityAir has planned a series of demonstrations for the Pratt & Whitney-powered aircraft in early March, before it heads for New Zealand.
The Kodiak is a single-engine turbo-prop (SETP) freight/passenger hauler with a 750-shp PT6 giving it a high-speed cruise of 185 knots and useful load of 1600 kg.
According to Quest, the aircraft needs only 214 metres to land at max weight and will get off again in just over 300 metres.
The aircraft coming to Australia for demonstration flights is decked out with a corporate transport interior.
Aircraft operators and pilots interested booking a demonstration flight can contact Utility Air through their website or contact them on sales@utilityair.com
