The Quest Aircraft Company Kodiak 100 is a modern utility turboprop designed specifically for humanitarian missions and short takeoff and landing (STOL) operations in remote areas. First flown on October 16, 2004, it is a high-wing single-engine aircraft powered by a Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-34 turboprop that seats up to 10 passengers or carries substantial cargo loads. The aircraft can take off in under 700 feet and climb at more than 1,500 feet per minute, making it ideal for accessing unimproved airstrips. Quest Aircraft Company developed the Kodiak as a modern successor to the de Havilland Otter, now manufactured by Daher.
