PILATUS PC 12

• Passengers 9

为数不多的现代单引擎涡轮螺旋桨飞机之一, the versatile Pilatus PC-12 is one of the most popular charter aircraft on the market.

关于这架飞机

• 自1991年成立以来, the PC-12 has become one of the world’s best-selling single-engine turbine-powered aircraft.
• 它受欢迎的主要原因包括一个大的船舱, 且由单一飞行员操作, 距离相对较远, 速度快，运行成本低.
• The aircraft typically seats six or eight passengers, although there’s space for up to nine. 如果飞机是私有的, a tenth passenger can sit in the cockpit with a single pilot, 但这个选项不适用于包机.
• Its flexibility and performance mean the Pilatus PC-12 is used as both a passenger and cargo aircraft for private and business travel.

The Pilatus PC-12 combines a turboprop’s versatility with the comfort of a light jet and this remarkable performance has made it one of the most successful single-engine turboprops on the market. With a comparatively large baggage hold and capacity for up to nine people, the PC-12 can compete with aircraft in the midsize jet category.

Interior design

The PC-12’s cabin can be configured to carry up to nine passengers, however it’s most commonly laid out to accommodate six or eight. Pilatus teamed up with BMW Group Designworks to design a luxurious interior with comfortable executive seats and a completely flat floor. There’s a fully enclosed lavatory in the forward portion of the cabin.

• 得益于其在安全方面的创新解决方案, 舒适性和性能, the turboprop is considered the Swiss Army Knife of private aviation.
• 这架飞机的第三代型号, the PC-12 NGX, promises a significant reduction in cabin noise thanks to an activatable slow propeller mode.

技术特性

装有单个普拉特 & Whitney PT6A-67P turboprop engine and five-bladed fully-feathering propellers, the PC-12 can reach cruise speeds of 528 km/h and a service ceiling of 30,000 ft.

The aircraft features improved Honeywell avionics and winglets to reduce aerodynamic drag. Onboard Wi-Fi and in-flight entertainment systems can also be installed.

History

Pilatus announced the PC-12 in 1989 at the annual NBAA convention. It was designed to fit a market not yet served by existing aircraft, for a single-engine aircraft with a large volume that could cover long distances at high speeds. The first two prototypes were created in 1991 and the first flight took place the same year.

入职至今, Pilatus has improved on the PC-12’s original design with increased take-off weight, new avionics and noise reduction measures for greater passenger comfort.

Manufacturer

Swiss aerospace manufacturer Pilatus was established in 1939 to carry out maintenance and repairs for the country’s air force. 三年后，他们开始制造新飞机, beginning with the SB-2 Pelikan for use in mountain regions like the Alps.

The subsequent P-2 and P-3 military planes were used by the Swiss Air Force for fighter pilot training, but the real breakthrough came with the popular PC-6 followed by the PC-9. In 1987, Pilatus started developing a single-engine turboprop for up to 12 passengers or freight.
