PC-24 - The Super Versatile Jet Landing on Grass Runway
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ต.ค. 2024
- Fano Airfield in the Marche region of Italy offers optimum test conditions: Pilatus spent one week there in July 2018 testing the PC-24’s landing and take-off capabilities on the airfield’s unmade dirt/grass runway.
From the outset, the PC-24 was designed for “off road” operations. Its outstanding performance on short unmade runways opens up an incredible degree of flexibility and new opportunities. The PC-24 provides access to almost twice as many airports worldwide compared to other jets currently available on the market. The outstanding flexibility of the PC-24 opens the door on an enviable spectrum of possibilities - whether as a business jet, ambulance aircraft or for other special missions. All this makes it a Super Versatile Jet, an aircraft designed to fulfil a wide variety of individual mission profiles.

This aircraft is going to do very well in Canada, we have thousands of rough strips. If it does well on ice, snow and cold it’s doubly a winner
Yeah, i thought the same about Russia - PC-24 could be good choice for local flights in Siberia.
What else can you expect from the Swiss. Excellent as always.
But does it tell time ... with precision?
@@thooke222 No, you use a watch for that, not an aircraft.
Love the PC24!
steveo1kinevo is this what you are going to be rocking soon? :)
Time to move out of turbo props?
S1k, have you flown it yet?
I love too pc24
Oh hey Steveo!
Finally a jet that you can take to burning man
Lars Larsen wish the sf50 had a gravel kit, because it should be able to use 88NV’s runways with the engine positioning
Freaking awesome!!! WOW the PC-24 is so impressive!! Goosebumps!! :)
The cartels are gonna be ordering these jets like hotcakes.
It cost 8,9 million. But for a cartel that's practically nothing
LOL, I thought of the same thing.
@@ivo2829 Wait, really? They have that much money?!!!!
@skinny slim is now a drug lord
@@ne9835 where you from mate? Cartels can buy the entire country!
so awesome! Seems so weird to see a jet on grass lol
Th cartels are celebrating hahaha
Great to c flight landing on grassland, I saw it first time. Great technology 😳😳😳
@@Nhamo3 Hahahaha, that was my first thought, smugglers of the world rejoice! Your salvation is near. Superb plane in any case.
It's very weird to see western planes do this but a lot of Russian and soviet jets are build from the factory to do this without problems. There are very small jets like this from yakovlev for example but also very big jets like the il-62 and most transport aircraft from antonov that can do this. They landed an old il62 in a field here in Germany to put it in a museum and I don't mean a grass or dirt runway it was literally a field...edit: here's a video th-cam.com/video/3EP2fgosJ0A/w-d-xo.html
Russia: am i a joke to you?
Congratulations for this absolutely gorgeous, high quality strong Pc-24 for remote area, rescue and lot more! 👍🇨🇭🐘🇨🇷
You all at Pilatus nailed it with the PC-24, an absolute fabulous jet, well done !
I’m a big fan of the PC-12. This one is going to disrupt the market.
The perfect Africa Business Jet for fly-in Safaris to hundreds of remote bush landing strips. The Pilatus PC-24 rules!!!
Game changing aircraft in its market segment!
Absolutely Beautiful,
Just perfect for medical emergencies.
Fantastic, this p24 is unique in the way it's able to take off and land on unpaved runways.It will take the world tourism into to a new level as this jet can access remote areas. Good work keep it up!!!!!.
Was für ein schöner "Vogel". 10+++
just a spectacular view of the landing and take-off
Amazing!! Well done Pilatus team.. have never flown on a private jet like this but would love to one day.
Nice. When I was learning to fly, my stingy instructor always asked us to land on the grass to save tyres. Now I can use the same technique on the jet.
Awesome!! I'd go camping and fishing with that all the time.
An impressive aircraft for sure. Love it😍🤩🌏👍👍
No doubt this is my Private Jet of choice, now all I need to do is make a few million bucks and find a good excuse to buy this thing
Don't forget the few million bucks every few years in maintenance and upkeep.
If i had that plane, maintenance would by myself
@@CockatooDude "millions" in maintenance? lol, annual fixed costs are $367,383 according to aircraftcostcalculator.com
@@burn-loot-murder5974 Fair enough, that's still a ridiculous amount. I don't even want to think about what an engine overhaul on this thing would cost.
I like those little shock absorbers
Congratulations!
This jet, with its wide cargo door, is going to gobble up the Air Ambulance market!
Love the Williams 44-4A engines !
Fantastic engineering and smart thinking, it's exactly what cartels require and will sell quicker then they can manufacturer. That's one way to make a business flourish
Plane salesman: _slaps roof_* you can fit so many *DRUGS* in this baby.
What a beauty!
Wow that must be fun !
Would be great for emergency flights
Lukas Bleck...... one already painted for the RFDS western section for Australia
PC-24 is already in service for RFDS in West-Australia. See this awesome video: th-cam.com/video/z0aQtBTNxWg/w-d-xo.html
Swiss engineering. Great job, my friends.
The inboard flaps will take a beating without stone deflectors
Impressive. Makes me worried to see this though, just looks wrong. Congrats to Pilatus. R&D must have been fun.
I just ordered 6 of these.
One for each of my kids.
So this is like an off-road ferrari 😆
So, does it harm the strip in any way?
Negative but it causes a lot of paint chips 😨
Excelente perfomance!.Felicitaciones! .

Good job . bravo
It is bizarre seeing a jet landing and taking off from dirt. Double takes for days.
Owners won't be happy about their strips being wrecked though...
Great job
Simply amazing!
I love pilatus❤️❤️❤️👌
Truly a versatile plane Kudos to Swiss Engineering 😁
I still don't like having only a single wheel nose gear for those types of rough field operations. I know that a dual wheel set up would weigh more, but it seems that it would have less likelihood of digging in.
Impressive, however, what special measures or materials protect the underside of the flaps from debris kicked up from unpaved surfaces? The PC-12, having substantially more ground clearance isn't subject to the same effects.
It's not a question of the jet being able to use such runways. It is a question of such runways (grass, dirt) being able to sustain continuous operations of this type of aircraft.
Brilliant! Wouldn't want to be the one to clean it though
Great aircraft, I have always wanted to see a jet that could slow down and land on rough strips. PC24 seems to have nailed it. However, the undercarriage seems a bit low for a rough strip specialist... Or is it just me? Also there seems to be a big curve under the fuselage where the wings join, maybe that's a slow speed lifting design spec?
Cheers and I wish I had the cash for a PC24!
then go for an Antonov An-124 ; it has been operating from unpaved airfields since decades -;)-;)
I think the gear is deceptively high given the size of the plane, I bet it sits at least 25-30 inches above the ground.
Swiss Engineering FTW!!
Swiss Engineering, front undercarriage might be Achille's heel, constant pounding on dirt runways
Good aftrnoon Pilatus Aircraft LTD. Thanks for your video,,, great posición below the wing and see how work the suspensión, the tires,,, amazing video,,, congrautlations,,, your fan and friend Oscar de Pachuca HGo Estados Unidos Mexicanos,,, so long,,,
El Chapo needs one right away. 😃
I hope he rot in jail for the rest of his life
Pilatus com a cara do embraer legacy,
Pilatus , You Guyz have done a great Job making this marvel. Since you have invented "SVJ" Classification, why dont you make a new product with 4000NM transcontinental range with these landing capabilities and also disrupt the towing tug , like you did with the Ground Power Units with the Unique QPM. Imagine a JET that can reverse itself. You would'nt be Pilatus if you settled for less and your order volumes speak for it. Love the PC-24 , Waiting for a PC-48 thats even more badass. I love the Swiss Knife ( Victorinox) and you.
TOP !!! I'm a virtual Pilot and i love to fly Pilatus PC-12 on X-Plane 11. When do we have this model for X-Plane 11 ? :D
Seems like the perfect plane for the royal flying doctor service
Beautiful!
Dirt and grass is one thing, but if they think they're going to operate off of pure gravel like they have in Alaska, without damage, they've got another thing coming.
Sky Dreamer wondering how this will work in the rain on muddy grass strips too
They are on order for the flying doctors here in Australia.
stevespatrol
After the patient recuperates, do they have to make their own way home? They won’t be dropped off would they?
these kind of runways will be unusable after couple of landings right?
Good concept but what about rain season, snow season ? And during testing I think it was unloaded so what about fully loaded on above condition ??
nice 👍👍👍
RIP to that grass runway
What makes this as opposed to a Citation more adapted to rough surfaces? Beefier suspension? tires? How much weight does this add that could take away from useful load capacity? Not sure if this ability is really useful in a private jet so if there’s a toll paid to have it, it might not be worth it. Maybe I won’t get one of these for my private jet collection. When I have one, that is. 😢
i can't believe this happened so near to my home!
Would be interesting to know, how much of the 1350meter of airfield length the pc24 needed for a lift off with adequate fuel.
Amazing airplane.
It can probably fly you to the moon
Pretty spectacular grass strip t/o’s & landings for a bizjet, but it sure seemed to kick up a lot of dirt. If I was the runway owner I wouldn’t be too happy about my airstrip getting ripped up...
Beautiful....❤️
OK, this jet - as well as others - can operate on unpaved surfaces, but it will be interesting to see the grass runway conditions after the PC-24 operations. It seems the runway has suffered a bit, has not it?
Roberto R. MOLA my thoughts precisely.
It'll blow away the landing site. Literally.
S1baar I would say it'll scrape the surface, because the engine has blown what the landing gear ripped out from the surface. "Conveniently", the outside mounted camera showed only the beggining and the final moments of landing gear rolling... High pressure tires on earth or grass runways? Only for eventualities, in my humble opinion.
Roberto R. MOLA aren't high pressure tires bad for paved surfaces?
Edit: I meant unpaved! Autocorrect...
S1baar Low pressure tires are larger to produce a larger "print" on the surface and distribute the aircraft weight on a larger area. Or doubling the number of wheels/tires to produce the same effect. The same aircraft with smaller higher pressure tires will exert a higher pressure on the surface. There are tables for each aircraft to determine if a particular place is suitable for its operation. The parameters computed are aircraft weight and number of tires, tire pressure (ACN - Aircraft Classification Number) and runway capacity (PCN - Pavement Classification Number). Concrete and asphalt prepared runways, taxiways and aprons can withstand such high pressure tires, but earth and grass runways cannot provide a stable and steady condition over a certain period of time. Rain season and other nature factors can modify PCN. A better ACN would provide the ONLY way to guarantee a safe operation on an unprepared runway. Example: Air India ordered their first Airbus A-320 with 4 wheel bogies on main landing gear, doubling the number of tires and the weight distribution because movement area on Indian airports were considered too bad for "conventional" gear A-320s.
Roberto R. MOLA , you are more than right, is a humble expert opinion!
Super!
Please have a look at position 0:19. For me it looks like a red plane is landing while the PC-24 is entering the runway. Am I wrong?
That's my city, Fano!
YaK -42 first jet to be designed land and take off from dirty runway.
The YAK-40 was the first passenger jet really operated on unpaved runways.
Amazing. I love th music.
Very cool...need to google all the specs now....
yes i live near this airport and i always see this jet land and take off
W il Pilatus! W la mia citta'.
What a beauty
We all know its a Su-25 inside that thing lol 😂
Very cool! 👍👍👍

Free meth comes gratis with order of the deluxe edition
Excellent test.🇦🇺😉🙂👍
Top!
It’s a promising little jet. You don’t see a Learjet or Bombardier doing grass takeoff or landings. It’s the Jeep of private jets.
I agree it’s a beautiful machine. However there’s a couple things I’m concerned about: 1- it sure rides low. A little too low for me if I had to land on rough terrain. I’d be seriously concerned about the fuselage. 2- single wheel front landing gear is a little concerning too. I would rather have double for more weight support and ruggedness. Other than that she’s gorgeous!
Short runway requirements plus unimproved runway ability plus jet performance? I'll take two!
Waiting for the first Pilatus Jetliner... ;)
Btw, why it has no reverse? Too Dangerous for the engines? 🤔
Amazing...i loved!!!
How does the runway look like after such a takeoff/landing? How many grass runways that are >1000m long exist out there?
It needs 856m to takeoff from a grass runways. (And there is more than 20'000 such runways in the world)
Awesome plane 👍
If I had the 💰 I'd get it but landing on a grass strip doesn't seem too wow'ish we land our R/C jets on unpaved and grassy runways all the time 😜 just need a sturdy landing gear and and a slightly more reinforced landing gear attachment on the wing 😉
El Chapo would like to order 100 of these!
Wow amazing
What a machine. ❤
Have they fixed the windshield delamination issues yet?
10x seems a bit excessive...
How do these smaller jets start up? Do they have APU?
Awesome development and innovation. Quick question, does it have thrust reversers?
This is the perfect bird that Barry Seal was looking for (see the movie American Made)
Made for "swiss made' grass fields, clear of any rocks and stones, flat and well manicured grass, just like their beautiful taken care of hills xD
I love Pilatus.....i'll work in that company someday
