Daher has delivered the first Kodiak 100 single-engine turboprop to be equipped with a five-blade composite propeller from Hartzell. The aircraft went to the North Carolina Forest Service’s Aviation Division, where it will be used to ferry equipment and supplies to support aerial tankers conducting wildfire suppression operations. The five-blade prop was announced as an option for the Kodiak 100 earlier this year.
