Pilatus PC-8D Twin Porter
The Pilatus PC-8D Twin Porter was a Swiss ten-seat light transport built by Pilatus Aircraft. The type did not go into production and only one was built.〔
Work on the Twin Porter started in 1966, it was a modified Pilatus PC-6 high-wing monoplane with the nose-mounted engine removed and two 290 hp Lycoming IO-540-GIB engines mounted on the wing leading edges.〔 The prototype first flew on 28 November 1967.〔 Only one aircraft was built and after flight testing was stopped in 1969 the aircraft was scrapped.
== Development ==
To keep development costs down, as many components as possible were adopted from the single-engine PC-6 Porter, such as center fuselage, the wings and main landing gear. A new development of the forward fuselage, the tail with the tail and the arrangement of the propellers. The cabin was easily converted for various tasks. First drafts showed a motor assembly right and left of the fuselage nose, similar to the Dornier Do 28. A tandem arrangement of the engines like on the Dornier Wal above the fuselage as the earlier flying boats was considered. In the final design, the engines were located very close in front of the wings to the fuselage and a separate engine pylons. Between the engines and the wings is no fixed connection, but a gap was as in a slat. With this arrangement, it was hoped to obtain favorable values for the single-engined flight.
