Information
On May 2, 1961, the Pilatus PC-6A Turbo Porter first flew with a Turbomeca Astazou 520 HP engine. It is further improved by installing a new turbo-shaft engine, the PT6A Pratt & Whitney Canada with 550 PS, which creates the PC-6B version. With almost 600 aircraft built in six decades, Pilatus ceased production in 2019, again proving that a machine with a simple and durable design can survive many of its more sophisticated and advanced counterparts.
