The PC-12 is a completely new design that was begun in 1990. All turboprops up to that point were revisions of designs dating back to the 1960’s. Taking advantage of computer aided design and advances in software modeling, the engineers at Pilatus set out to design an all new aircraft that flew faster, farther, and in greater comfort than existing models. The result was the Pilatus PC-12, the world’s largest single engine turbine airplane. The Pilatus boasts a larger cabin than the King Air 200 and flies a greater distance at the same speed. With an operating cost 35% less than a King Air, the economics of the Pilatus PC-12 are a welcome contrast to the competition. Truly the Pilatus is a 21 st century airplane with old world economics, appealing both to the CEO and the CFO.
Pilatus is a Swiss manufacturer of military training aircraft. They have been producing aircraft since 1939 and are known the world over for their quality craftsmanship and attention to detail.
