Pilatus PC-12
When you’re seeking world-class craftsmanship, no country has a more famed reputation than the Swiss. And where is precision craftsmanship more important than in a plane? That’s why a safe choice for air transportation is the Pilatus PC-12 turboprop plane. Since 1939, Pilatus Aircraft has stood for Swiss quality and innovation. Indeed, the skies are your bowl of cherries when you’re flying a Pilatus PC-12 that’s powered by a Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-67B engine that reaches a maximum cruising speed of 312 mph. Fly by yourself in this “Best Of” turboprop and you can travel an impressive 2,593 miles. Load it up with nine passengers and you still can travel 1,753 miles at a comfortable cruising altitude of 30,000 feet. The Pilatus PC-12 offers a large interior with lots of flexibility because seats are removable. Since it can land in less than 1,000 feet of runway, the Pilatus PC-12 is a favorite of executives on the go who need to fly in and out of smaller airports.
