The
outstanding features of the small
transporter built by Pilatus Aircraft Ltd
in Stans, Switzerland are: extremely short
take off and landing distances (a football
field is sufficient), remarkable climbing
performance, high robustness, large
additional load in relation to the dead
weight. The PC-6 Porter is usable for
almost each function and indicates an
impressing area of operations: Pax and
material transport, medical and emergency
service, measurement and photo flights,
with spraying equipment for agricultural
work and for fire fighting. It can land
equipped with skis on glaciers and with
floats on water and it's an ideal airplane
for parachuting.
The Pilatus Porter attained world validity
and made known the name Pilatus in all the
world. Who knows Swiss cheese, Swiss
clocks or the Swiss Army Knife knows as
well the Pilatus Porter.
