The Pilatus PC-12 is a versatile single-engine turboprop utility aircraft from Switzerland, known for short-field performance, a pressurized cabin, and multi-role use. Selected PC-12–class civil airframes are converted into high performance autonomous aircraft (HPAA) for executive, cargo, medevac, surveillance, and special-mission roles—combining turboprop efficiency with rugged field capability.

Crew and cabin layouts vary; dimensions and weights support HPAA mission planning. Conversion preserves the PC-12’s operational strengths while integrating autonomous mission systems.

Excellent short-runway operation from paved and unpaved strips supports HPAA deployment to austere locations.

Single PT6A-67P power and cabin/cargo flexibility are integrated with your HPAA sensors, datalinks, and mission computers.
