Ruslan Delivers for Pilatus

15-September-2008

13-August-2008 marked the final delivery of 19 Pilatus PC-21 trainer aircraft to RAAF Base Pearce, Australia for the Royal Singapore Air Force.

According to PC-21 specifications, it was initially estimated that only 3 aircraft were loadable on the An124-100. However, following close cooperation between Ruslan International and Pilatus enginners, it was determined that up to 7 were transportable if mounted on an angled frame.

All 19 aircraft and ancilliary equipment were eventually delivered from Emmen, Switzerland within the specified period of five months.
