I have almost 700 hours in a caravan flying for Fedex and for the last year and a half I’ve been flying the PC 12. I love both of these airplanes because of what they’re capable of and what you can do with them. Seeing that there is something that is close to a blend of these two airplanes is something I am extremely excited about. And the price point is extremely appealing. I would absolutely love to yoke one of these. Maybe some day.
Absolutely no idea how this popped into my feed, but I found it fascinating and even learned a thing or two. The sense of pride in every employee was evident. Really cool vid. Thanks for enlightening me on this magnificent aircraft👍
You've pictures from the Kodiak 100 P2 NTK! It's flown in PNG from Ryan. Great plane - the new one, too! What I like about this film is that you show the people who built & tested it.
The speed improvement is actually more than what is claimed. A K 100 with the pod cruise at about 165 Kts at 10000 . It is a completely different aircraft. Still need to see the POH to get more ideas . Only the price is the bad news !
100 is a bush plane capable of landing almost anywhere a 206 can, but hauling 2 more people and cruising a bit faster and burning kerosene. 900 is focused on cruise speed, with unimproved field capability, but needing more runway length. The interior is nicer also. The 900 seems like it is after some of the pc12/caravan market, but also looking to capture some government program buys.
So I know you guys went through a lot of R&D, time, and effort into designing the wheel skirts. Is there an option or plan to allow for oversized tires for bush flying? Or are they extremely integrated into the structure of the aircraft?
I love the TBM, and the thought that Daher is now holding the reins excites me. I'm in the market for a new single engine and the new Kodiak has made the choice even harder. The TBM 950 vs the Kodiak 900 is two different mission types I know, but either would work for me. Damm you Daher, I thought I had made up my mind:-)
BEAUTIFUL Airplane. I'm torn between the PILATUS PC-12NGX and this... Both are amazing. Think I'd still go with Pilatus PC-12 NGX but also want this. But it Doesn't matter because I can't afford either unfortunately
What music are you playing in the intro? Composer, singers etc. Just wondering if it has something to do with the deeper thought someone put into this video and really emphasizing the meaning and origins of the word Kodiak.
First of all…excellent production value. Yes it’s a beautiful plane…the wheel pants suggest vintage yet the body is all function. Value routes are protected. Out of left field algorithm suggestion. Thanks Algorithm!
@@johnpooky84 it's a 2/3 caravan that cessna should have built. This nicely filled the gap between the 206 and 208. Cessna never would have made the 900 though, especially with the new PC12 clone their making. Daher took an excellent aircraft and made it a whole new beast. I expect this to knock a few caravan sales out for people needing the utility but wanting more speed.
If the 900 is the same as the 100. You need to add inhibitors like Prist when flying in outside temp below 5 degrees C . You cannot get Pre/mixed everywhere so you have to climb on top and refill from the wing caps… I don’t think they will or have developed a fuel heater like the latest pc 12
Very cool, but why is it still not pressurized? And if switching up the powerplant, why not use the 1200SHP PT6A-67A (like the Epic E1000)? Both the Kodiak 900 and Epic E1000 have the same MTOW of 8,000lbs.
For the flight missions it is designed for, a pressurised cabin isnt required, like the Caravan, it’s primary customers are going to use it for short hops.
06:09 'the PT6A-140A is the highest rated SMALL PT6 that Pratt and Whitney has come out with'. So they obviously felt they needed to stay with the smaller class of PT6 for packaging reasons on this aircraft.
Pressurization is heavy, and would require a different window design.weight reduces speed due to drag, which requires more power and that requires more fuel, which causes more drag. I wouldn't be surprised if they do make a pressurized version in the future.
@@electricaviationchannelvid7863 money. fairings, pod and cowlings don't cost what a new wing does. Considering that they have the TBM, I doubt the investment is worth it.
Beautiful & Sleek Looking aircraft. My feedback as an A&P / Mechanical Engineer: ***Refueling panel, at the base of LH wing, is in a very wrong location.*** It should have been at a better location, likely inboard of brace on RH wing. Dis-Advantages of this current refueling panel location: **1) Clutter at LH wing:** LH side is already cluttered with many personnel during a short stop (like Baggage Handlers, Concierge & pilot) getting plane ready for the next hop. So fuel guy should be on the other side. **2) Vehicular Clearance:** Refueling trucks in US & many other nations are LH steering wheeled. Thus driver has better clearance sense driving a radiational Refueling truck approaching LH wing. **3) Ergonomics:** Not ergonomic for a single person holding a heavy pressurized refueling hose reaching current refueling location while standing at LH wheel pant. A single mishap can easily damage the window, spill on beautiful paint job, or give a bad back injury to refueler. If I ever own a Kodiak 900, I will do this modification myself. Just looking out for general public, if responsible at MFG wants this comment removed, LMK.

Apologies for being a lowly single owner/pilot of a 2016 Cessna 510 but that isn't exciting at all.

Same
Does it have an airborne collision avoidance system (ACAS)?
Missionary Bush Pilot is the absolute best advertisement for the Kodiak 100.
3:48 Missionary Bush Pilot I see NTK!!
Awesome! If I win the lottery. Until then I’ll keep rocking my lil 172.
Same, KP. Same.
I am in LOVE with this new Kodiak 900 without ever being on board !!! 😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰
You've pictures from the Kodiak 100 P2 NTK! It's flown in PNG from Ryan. Great plane - the new one, too!

Lav option would be nice for a 5hr flight time!
OMG. I think I am in love. ❤️
Goosebump overload. Woah buddy. Fantastic production! Some beautiful new lines, absolutely gorgeous!
Great Looking Plane, super red metallic. Way more useful than a Ferrari.

Dream aircraft! Beautiful filming!!!!
Love this plane. And the colour is brilliant. Why can’t I get a kodiak T shirt looked everywhere for one.
Congratulations to Daher! Amazing aircraft for it's class! Greetings from a Diamond Ferry Pilot 😉
"I like the presentation on the Aircraf, it is absolute." 👍
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!
Well made video. Looks like a cool plane purpose-built.

A New Era indeed! cheers!
Wow! Nice aircraft. I've loved it for awhile now. It's only gotten better. Sure wish I could afford one though.

That's one smooth AF AC. Beautiful!
Hats-Off, what a Beast of a plane!
Hey, I know those folks! Great team! Great airplane!

Can you attach floaters to this like the k 100?

nice plane soon to be your customer
exactly what the Kodiak needed to be, slightly Longer.
😂 what it needed was pressurization
@@travishibbard4705 I was surprised it wasn't tbh
Awesome aircraft, awesome introduction video. Loved the video globally
Is it long enough to carry a hang glider inside? Say, 215 inches long package?
BEAUTIFUL Airplane. I'm torn between the PILATUS PC-12NGX and this... Both are amazing. Think I'd still go with Pilatus PC-12 NGX but also want this. But it Doesn't matter because I can't afford either unfortunately
Pick up a used Cessna Caravan
And a lavatory option? 10 hours of flight time, could use one.
Just Amazing! Bravo!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
The most beautiful airplane in the world. Bravo guys !
It is my dream to own a Kodiak 900 or even 100, I won't stop till I do. :)
Ryan @MissionarybushPilot at 3:43?
I'd deffo say the drone footage looks like some of Ryans from PNG
Wow, congratulations on a beautiful new aircraft.
Steveo-1-kenevo needs to test fly one.
What music are you playing in the intro? Composer, singers etc. Just wondering if it has something to do with the deeper thought someone put into this video and really emphasizing the meaning and origins of the word Kodiak.

Thanks Algorithm!
what song is that?
Two 👍👍 Up For The KODIAK 900 Up Up & Away !!
It kinda looks like a single engine MU-2. It looks awesome. Beautiful aircraft!
dont disrespec the 900 with the MU-2
I was thinking that it looked like a Cessna Grand Caravan.

Looks slick
Gorgeous machine !
Is it possible like for the Cessna Caravan to turn it into a sea-plane ?
How I would love to have this plane, more than any other. But really, a Cessna 182 is all the plane I would ever really need.
Que pedazo de nave!!!
Does the 900 need a fuel system icing inhibitor?
If the 900 is the same as the 100. You need to add inhibitors like Prist when flying in outside temp below 5 degrees C . You cannot get Pre/mixed everywhere so you have to climb on top and refill from the wing caps… I don’t think they will or have developed a fuel heater like the latest pc 12
Nice airplane, but can you hang an eclectic motorcycle under each wing and charge it inflight from solar panels on the top of the wings?
Very cool, but why is it still not pressurized? And if switching up the powerplant, why not use the 1200SHP PT6A-67A (like the Epic E1000)? Both the Kodiak 900 and Epic E1000 have the same MTOW of 8,000lbs.
For the flight missions it is designed for, a pressurised cabin isnt required, like the Caravan, it’s primary customers are going to use it for short hops.
@@3204clivesinclair So why not redesign the wing and lose the wing support to gain speed?

So they obviously felt they needed to stay with the smaller class of PT6 for packaging reasons on this aircraft.

What is the canister thing under the right wing?
Weather radar
It would be nice to build pressurised one
For such Air craft
6:29 You mean to tell me the aerodynamics engineer's last name is Slippy... I mean if that wasn't fate I don't know what is.
I wonder what stall speed is?

can't wait to fly it ……………………in MSFS
That‘ll make a nice 3rd plane ✈️
It's a Cessna Caravan?
What’s that song called ?
Fantastique !!
anybody knows the song at 00:45 ? thanks ;)
,tiko tiko :Against All Odds
Would like to see a float version
What says the EASA about this Aircraft? I guess you will get this Certification too.
I just love everything about this plane, I'm about to buy a Ran's Rv10 now after seeing this I'm like how can I make money and pre order this
Intro song?
I'll take two.
I love what I see. New generation of airplanes is here.
❤
Just need a bathroom now
And how does it STOL?... I mean if you want speed buy a TBM, but it won't go everywhere and carry what you need there. So, how does it STOL?
There's lots of examples of STOL in the video.
@@garycook5125 Maybe your definition of STOL and mine differ then...

Good luck doing ISR.
I need one
wow
Going from 950 ft to 1400 ft isn't a "slightly" longer take-off requirement, that is 1/3 longer!
How much does a Kodiak 900 cost?
about $3.5 million
Nice toy for the 1% or back country charter aircraft for serious commercial operators

Вроде прикольный самолётик🙂
This is the best commercial for Cessna that I have ever seen.
Huh ?
#FlyKodiak #Kodiak900 what and were is the music from at the start of this Vid
This aircraft look bit of every other Aircrafts.
Apologies for being a lowly single owner/pilot of a 2016 Cessna 510 but that isn't exciting at all. I have also owned a Grand Caravan and it was competent in most conditions however when there's a decent headwind or a cell that needs avoiding? Nothing beats a twin VLJ that is up at FL410 just 25 minutes from leaving the runway.
And the wheelpants still don't look right, at all.
to you perhaps, and isn't it ironic that your mother has the same opinion about you. Anyway to the rest of us they look rad.
Special Missions???? Did the Air Force beat me?
Beautiful aircraft. I'll see how much I have in the piggy bank
Looks near like a 208
Well im sold, Give me a job and i'll come work for you.
A new era! No, wait. Just an improved Caravan.
👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏
Cessna's are ancient
amazingggg :)))
$3.5 million price… tell me again what this is doing in my recommended 😅
The sound design is bad, Music is too loud, I have to lower down the volume when music come and up the volume when speech comes, lol.
$3.5 million . Why am I watching this??
Just need a tailwheel
