An aircraft designed by NZ aeronautical engineers will help governments and humanitarian organisations save lives during natural disasters and fight the impact of climate change in some of the most inaccessible regions.

Based on the P-750 agricultural aircraft, the F-25 will be equipped with the PT6-140A engine and a 3,000 litre hopper in order to provide 2,500 litres of fire retardant. It is currently available for the 2021 fire season.

A Polish skydiving club has group financed the purchase of a Pacific Aerospace P-750 skydiving aircraft by offering investment bonds to club members.
