Pilatus PC-24
About
The World’s First Super Versatile Jet
The Pilatus PC-24, introduced in 2018, created an entirely new category: the Super Versatile Jet (SVJ). While most jets are restricted to paved runways, the PC-24 was engineered with the rugged DNA of the PC-12 turboprop, allowing it to land on grass, gravel, and unpaved surfaces. It was designed for the owner who needs the speed and comfort of a midsize jet but requires access to remote locations that other jets simply cannot reach.
Why the PC-24 Wins on Versatility
The PC-24 wins because it refuses to be limited by geography. It features a massive, standard cargo door—unheard of in the jet world—allowing for the easy loading of large items like motorcycles or medical equipment. The "winning" feature is its incredible short-field performance; it can take off from runways as short as 2,930 feet. For the traveler, the PC-24 offers a cabin with more volume than many light jets, featuring a flat floor and a flexible interior that can be reconfigured in minutes to prioritize either passengers or cargo.
Unmatched Agility and Cabin Space
The Pilatus PC-24 stands as a pioneer in the business jet market, blending midsize cabin volume with the off-road capability of a turboprop. It accommodates up to 11 passengers in a spacious, flat-floor interior featuring the Pilatus "Crystal Class" design. Powered by two Williams FJ44-4A engines, it reaches a top speed of 440 knots and a range of 2,000 nautical miles. The Advanced Cockpit Environment (ACE), based on Honeywell Primus Apex, includes synthetic vision and graphical flight planning as standard, ensuring total precision in any landing environment.
