Daher believes its “Take Off 2027” five-year strategic plan, inaugurated in 2023, is progressing as planned. This comes as Daher Aircraft continues to make progress on a third aircraft assembly line—located in Stuart, Florida—with boosted production capacity complementing technology development.
Construction of the dual TBM and Kodiak assembly facility in Stuart is now underway after renewal of the site’s long-term lease. Although the OEM had stated in 2024 that the first aircraft would roll off the <a href="https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/business-aviation/2024-04-15/daher-ramping-tbm-kodiak-production">combined line</a> in late 2025 or early 2026, this has now been revised to 2027.
Meanwhile, Daher Aircraft’s “Fly’in” technology center, inaugurated in January 2025 at its Tarbes, France headquarters, will also continue to work on adjacent aerospace developments. These include rapid prototyping, testing, data, and artificial intelligence, “accelerating the movement toward ‘more electric’ aircraft and dual-role integration,” explained Daher.
In June, Daher was selected as one of two main partners in a consortium to develop a medium-altitude long-endurance drone demonstrator, EyePulse, which made its first flight in December. This, stated Daher, illustrated the company’s “increasing mastery of complex system architecture, dual-use technology management and high-level avionics integration.”
