The new PT6E-Series engine offers a dual-channel integrated electronic propeller and engine control system. It features an electronic propeller and engine control system, including Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC).
In addition to the improved engine, the PC-12 NGX features a cabin with larger windows and interiors designed by BMW Designworks. The new propeller’s low-speed mode reduces the cabin noise.
The PC-12 NGX can cruise at a maximum speed of 537km/h.
It is also equipped with Advanced Cockpit Environment (ACE) System developed by Honeywell, as well as a touchscreen cursor control device, Prist-free fuel operation and a digital autothrottle that reduces pilot workload.
