Experience the Legendary Pilatus PC-6 Porter RC Model
The Swiss single-engine multipurpose aircraft of the STOL category, the Pilatus PC-6 Porter, boasts a captivating history. Starting its journey in 1959 powered by a flat six-cylinder piston engine from Lycoming, it evolved into an enhanced Turbo-Porter featuring a turboprop engine, marking an impressive milestone in aviation history.
Versatility Perfected
Its near-helicopter-like abilities for short takeoffs and landings quickly caught the attention of military and civilian users globally. With variants equipped with wheel landing gear, skis, or floats, the Porter proves its mettle in diverse terrains, soaring over deserts, jungles, lakes, mountains, snow, and ice.
World Records and Reliability
Setting the record for the highest aircraft landing at 5,750 meters above sea level on the Dhaulagiri glacier in Nepal, the PC-6 held its place as a testament to aviation excellence. After 63 years and the production of 604 aircraft, Pilatus halted the PC-6 production in 2022.
