Pilatus PC-24 - The Number One Choice for Bond Villains Worldwide

It’s a really good time to be a James Bond villain. Obviously, the introduction of satellite communications and GPS completely revolutionized the field, enabling instant data transfer and real-time monitoring of your henchmen’s various locations. 

But what about those occasions when you’re lounging on the beach in Nice and suddenly need to access your secret lair buried deep in the Swiss Alps?

In the past, you would have had to board your Gulfstream, fly to Lugano or Lucerne, arrange for your helicopter to meet you on the ramp, board the helicopter, and then continue on to your lair, schlepping along at a maddeningly slow 150 knots while Bond closes in on you.

But those days are now behind you.

With the revolutionary Pilatus PC-24, you can enjoy door-to-door convenience at 440 knots and 45,000 feet while also accessing your remote grass or dirt mountain airstrip. And the airstrip needn’t be fully maintained. With a tire pressure of only 73 psi (5 bar), long-travel trailing-link main gear, and an 82-knot stall speed, the PC-24 provides comfort and control on even the roughest strips.

Because Pilatus designed the PC-24 specifically around versatility and low-speed performance, you’ll be able to take off and land on unimproved strips as short as 2,930 feet (893m) while loaded to the jet’s maximum gross weight.

And load it you will. The huge rear cargo door measures 51×49 inches (1.30×1.25m), enabling you to load up to 12 W80 low-yield nuclear warheads without even having to remove them from their shipping crates.

Need to transport hostages? The cargo door will easily accommodate multiple stretchers, allowing you the peace of mind of keeping them fully restrained for the trip while you reveal every detail of your cunning plan.

And should one of the flight crew need to be eliminated along the way, the PC-24’s certification for single-pilot operation will ensure your trip continues to proceed without a hitch.

With the PC-24, even the most demanding Bond villain will be accommodated with a unique blend of performance, luxury, and versatility that is unmatched by any other aircraft manufacturer. Visit www.pilatus-aircraft.com for details.
