By 2027, Daher’s aviation division expects to broaden its product lineup with a hybrid-electric TBM and set up a third aircraft production facility in Stuart, Florida, Daher aviation division senior v-p Nicolas Chabbert told AIN. The French company produces four models—the Kodiak 100 Series III and 900 and TBM 910 and 960—and shipped 73 airplanes last year and estimates 85 to 90 deliveries this year.

The additional production line will be located at Daher’s aerostructures facility in Stuart. Combined with Kodiak production in Sandpoint, Idaho, and TBM manufacturing in Tarbes, France, the Florida facility will make both lines and boost total annual output to 120 to 130 airplanes.
