Daher’s Kodiak 100 utility airplane was designed for ruggedness and backcountry flying. To demonstrate its capabilities, the airframer partnered with the Backcountry Aviation Defibrillator Project to deliver lifesaving devices to four remote airstrips in Idaho, where the aircraft is built.

The goal of the project is to position automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in high-traffic, remote airfields. Equipped with Wi-Fi capabilities, those AEDs will be able to broadcast their availability through flight planning applications.
