The Pilatus PC-12 also known as worlds greatest sigle engine turboprop aircraft. Pilatus PC-12 is a single-engine turboprop passenger and cargo aircraft manufactured by Pilatus Aircraft company from Switzerland. The main market for the aircraft is corporate transport and regional airliner operators.

The interior was designed in conjunction with BMW's Designworks division, making extensive use of leather, fine wood veneers and various textiles to create an environment deliberately akin to a luxury road vehicle. An atypically large cargo door is installed to accommodate more bulky items, including palletised cargo.
