The PC-24 is a twin-engine business jet, a larger jet-powered follow-on to the earlier Pilatus PC-12. It is considered to be a short takeoff and landing (STOL) aircraft, being designed to operate from short and rough air strips. It incorporates an advanced wing design, with large double-slopped flap system to achieve the necessary performance, having a stall speed of only 81 knots at the maximum landing weight. Pilatus has claimed that the PC-24 possesses performance attributes which are unmatched by any jet aircraft on the market. It possesses a take-off distance of 820 m (2,690 ft) and a landing distance of 770 m (2,526 ft). The PC-24 is intended to be capable of operations from unpaved runways and grass strips. According to Pilatus, no other business jet has this ability, which gives the jet access to over 21,000 airports; this is claimed to be twice the number of tarmac airports that are usable for similar-sized jet aircraft.
The large cabin of the PC-24 can accommodate a luxurious interior outfitted with modern features for comfort and functionality.The cabin is designed to provide first class accommodations for both passengers and crew. A fully enclosed, externally serviceable private lavatory is also present. The cabin is designed to facilitate rapid reconfiguration, giving greater operational flexibility and mobility; the passenger seats can be installed or removed within minutes, while the aft partition between the pressurized baggage compartment and main cabin is movable to increase or decrease the size of either in between flights. A variety of interior configurations are possible, including a six-seat executive configuration (including a sizable baggage area); a combi version using four executive seats and a fully expanded cargo area; and an open version.
Based in Stans, Switzerland, Pilatus Aircraft Ltd was established in 1939. Seventy percent of all PC-12s which come off the production line in Stans, Switzerland are finished to customer specifications (interior and exterior livery) in Colorado. The American subsidiary is also responsible for PC-12 marketing, sales and servicing activities in North and South America.
