With a cruise speed of around 270 knots and a price tag of nearly $5 million, the 2013 Pilatus PC-12NG isn’t the fastest or the least expensive single-engine turboprop on the market. It is, however, arguably in a class of its own. That’s because it has a cabin that can carry 1,200 lbs. of payload while carrying over 400 gallons of fuel, the ability to operate from unpaved runways, and a huge 53×52-inch cargo door.
