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 Ibs. 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 — which can be repaired in the field — 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. Flight crews benefit from the Kodiak’s state-of-the-art glass cockpit, based on Garmin's G1000 NXi avionics suite with three 10-inch screens. This integrated flight deck has features that reduce workload and increase situational awareness — enabling pilots to focus on flying the mission.
