PILATUS (SEE TABLE P61) Pilatus Aircraft, Flugzeugwerke PO Box 992, CH-6371 Stans, Switzerland. Tel +41 (41) 619 6111; fax+41(41) 610 9230; www.pilatus-aircraft.com PC-7/PC-7Mkll/PC-9(M) Pilatus continues to offer its family of turboprop trainers, which, since 1997, have been built using modular fuselages and adding 50kg to the empty weight. The major difference between the variants is engine power, the PC-7 being the lower-powered aircraft. Israel's Radom has given Slovenian PC-9s a new mission and weapons system, as well as a Lockheed Martin F-16-like cockpit that includes a FlightVisions HUD. PC-21 Pilatus started development of the PC-21 in the late 1990s as a replacement for the PC-7/9. The first aircraft was rolled out in April 2002 and completed its first flight on 1 July. Swiss civil certification is planned for in 2004. Plans to build a second prototype were put on hold as Pilatus had few problems assembling the first aircraft, eliminat ing the need to gain production expe rience by building another machine. The second PC-21, "an unofficial pre- production aircraft", is likely to be rolled out in late 2003 or early 2004. The aircraft looks similar to the PC-7/9 family, but the reduced-span wing is designed for higher speeds, with a combination of spoilers and alilerons to give fast-jet-like roll-rates, while Fowler flaps are intended to maintain an 80kt stall speed. The P&WC PT6A-68B engine drives a five-blade propeller and has a Pilatus power management system intended to restrict engine power to 900hp for take-off, but delivering full power above 250kt, to give sustained high cruise speeds. The NVG-compatible glass cockpit has HOTAS controls, three MFDs for each pilot, and a HUD in the front. The PC-21 has software capable of mimicking fighters, allowing Pilatus to offer it as a flying simulator. PZL WARSZAWA-OKECIE PZL Warszawa-Okecie, Aleja Krakowska 110/114,00-971 Warszawa, Poland.
