Approximately 650,000 visitors, 803 vendors and over 10,000 aircraft made AirVenture 2022 at Oshkosh a record year. But the choked supply chain still has manufacturers scrambling for components to fill orders—everything from avionics to headsets to engines and accessories.
Still, the vibe was positive and there was plenty to see and we spotted a handful of good products worth talking about, including a new turboprop single unveiled on day one from Daher Kodiak. The FAA-certified Kodiak 900 isn’t a replacement for the successful Kodiak 100 outback turboprop, but instead an addition to the model lineup that also includes Daher’s TBM line of turboprop singles.
