Pilatus PC-24 Testbed Jet Stops At EBACE Show The Pilatus PC-24 program is moving full steam ahead with two test aircraft flying and racking-up over 500 hours together already. They have done flights over Switzerland, Spain, Iceland and Scotland and now the the first test article, PO1, has taken a slight break from its busy test schedule to pop-in at this year's European Business Aviation Conference and Exhibition (EBACE).
Chairman of the Board of Directors of Pilatus, Oscar J. Schwenk, comments: "I'm delighted we can show off the PC-24 at a trade fair for the first time ever - it's an excellent opportunity to convince more potential customers that our unique Super Versatile Jet offers unparalleled performance."Hand in hand with Pilatus, Designworks, a BMW Group Company, has created six stylish colour concepts for the PC-24, each one named after a well-known ski resort, e.g. "St. Moritz", "Zermatt" or "Aspen". The various colour worlds were inspired by the shades of nature found at each location, and have been chosen to convey a feeling of luxury and security.
Pilatus has combined the finest materials with many special ergonomic touches: the spacious PC-24 cabin with its entirely flat floor can be divided into separate zones, for example, to allow simultaneous use for work or relaxation. The generous, ergonomic seats can be adjusted individually. An In-Flight Entertainment System is provided for passengers. A 1:1 walk-in model of the PC-24, featuring cabin design "Vail", will be on display in Hall 5 every day of the fair. For more information: Pilatus Aircraft Ltd Corporate Communications P.O.
