Pilatus Unveils PC-12NGX Swiss airframer Pilatus aircraft announced at the NBAA-BACE currently underway in Las Vegas, Nevada the third generation Pilatus PC-12NGX. The NGX has actually been going through its paces for a while now in testing as it is a new iteration of the existing PC-12NG it should be certificated pretty soon; by the end of this year with deliveries to start in early 2020.
What's new with the NGX? The cabin has been reimagined, upgraded avionics in the cockpit and of course a higher performing version of the Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A. The Pratt & Whitney PT6E-67XP will be powering the PC-12 NGX and offer 1,825 horse power allowing a maximum cruising speed of 295-knots. This new variant is about 10-percent better on performance than the regular PC-12. If you want one of the fully-kitted out business/executive interiors, it will cost above 5.3 million dollars.
