The Pilatus PC-24 is a twin-engine business jet under development by Pilatus Aircraft of Switzerland. ==Development == The PC-24 was designed based on feedback from PC-12 customers, who desired increased range and speed, but wanted to retain the PC-12's ability to use very short runways.〔 The aircraft was revealed to the public at the European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (EBACE) in Geneva on 21 May 2013. It is to cost about nine million U.S. dollars. It is to compete with Embraer's Phenom 300 and Cessna's Citation CJ4.〔 Pilatus began taking orders for the aircraft in later May 2014. The rollout of the first prototype (of total 3 prototypes) was on 1 August 2014 (Switzerland's national day) and ground tested in February 2015. The aircraft's first flight was on 11 May 2015 and first deliveries are expected for 2017. By EBACE in May 2014, the company had sold 84 production places, each with a $250,000 deposit, representing the first planned three years of production from 2017 to 2019.〔Bellamy, Woodrow III.
