PC-12 Comparisons and performance
How
big is big? If you're like most of the people we talk to about
the Pilatus PC-12
single-engine turboprop aircraft, it's
bigger than you think. Much bigger than a TBM 700 for example.
Or a Cessna CitationJet. In reality, the PC-12
single-engine turboprop is over 7% bigger
than a King Air B200. And it delivers comparable speed and
other capabilities, although the PC-12
Business Aircraft price tag and operating
costs are remarkably smaller.

And
therein lies the big idea behind our aircraft - high value
in a fully pressurized, high-performance business airplane.
Drawing on a proud heritage of Swiss quality and precision
- and unrivalled experience with single engine turboprop aircraft
- we've created a compelling, cabin-class alternative to commonplace
turboprop twins. Or cramped light business jets. To find out
just how compelling,
e-mail
