Often called the "Flying Jeep", the Pilatus PC-6 flew for the first time in 1959 and the early series were equipped with piston engines. His rugged airframe will be later equipped with turboprop engines, initially with Turboméca Astazou 523 HP and then, on the most famous version, with a Pratt & Whitney PT6A delivering 650 or 750HP. This utility aircraft is best known for his use by skydiving centers, were it may take 9-10 jumpers to 4000 m within 15 minutes and is able to be back to ground within 3 minutes only. It has been used for a wide range of uses, cargo, STOL transport aircraft, water bomber or gunship .
