Quest Aircraft Sticks With Supplier For Customer Planes

Wichita, KS-based Millennium Concepts, Inc. recently earned an order for follow-on production interiors from Quest Aircraft for its Kodiak turboprop utility airplane.

Millennium developed and certified the interior of the Kodiak in close coordination with the Sandpoint, ID-based airframe manufacturer. The configuration includes 21G passenger and 26G crew seats.

"We’re extremely pleased to receive this order for fabrication and assembly of the seats and interior as a follow-on to the engineering, documentation, certification, and supply chain management we’ve provided for Quest on the Kodiak," said Simon Hornblow, Millennium Concept’s program director for the airplane. "This is a relationship that we hope will continue to grow as the airplane enters service."

Millennium Concepts supplies components for the Kodiak's three interior packages--the Tundra, Timberline, and Summit. The eight- to- 10-passenger configurations will offer a range from rugged utility to a business-aircraft style design.

Millennium Concepts is involved in the development and certification of aircraft interiors for a variety of commercial aircraft, ranging from single engine, single pilot airplanes to VVIP wide body jets. Since its founding in 1999, it has provided engineering and related services, including "turn-key" designs, fabrication and completions for aircraft interiors on models ranging from the Cessna Grand Caravan to the Boeing Business Jet.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) granted Quest Aircraft a type certificate earlier this year.
