Do you know the key difference between a Pilatus PC-12 and other jets?
The Pilatus PC-12 is a single-engine turboprop aircraft, renowned for its versatility and efficiency, particularly in short takeoff and landing scenarios. Unlike jet engines, turboprop engines excel at lower speeds and shorter distances.

What about taking on board your motorcycle? Well, with Pilatus PC-24 you can do even that.
To simplify the loading and unloading process, the PC-24 features a large 4.1- by 4.25-foot rear cargo door, one of the more popular turboprops features Pilatus incorporated into its jet.
Moreover, PC-24 can land in many places which other planes can only fly over. The special landing gear design and the position of the engines, which protects against stone chipping, enables the plane to take off and land even on unsealed runways. Unlike any other business jet, an 820-meter-long runway is all it needs.
As such, the PC-24 can fly to more than 21,000 airfields - almost twice as many as its competitors can.
In North America alone, it can access almost 8,400 runways, whereas its fiercest rivals can only manage around 4,400.
What are your thoughts on this super versatile jet🛩️

**Turbojet vs. Turbofan Engines: Key Differences**
Turbojet and turbofan engines are both widely used in aviation, but they serve different purposes and operate on distinct principles.
**Turbojet Engines**: Turbojets are the simpler of the two designs, primarily generating thrust by accelerating air through a combustion chamber. Air is compressed, mixed with fuel, ignited, and expelled at high velocity to produce thrust. This makes turbojets ideal for high-speed aircraft, such as military fighters, where high speeds and altitude performance are critical. However, turbojets are less fuel-efficient at lower speeds and produce more noise.
**Turbofan Engines**: Turbofans, on the other hand, are more complex and efficient. They consist of a large fan at the front of the engine, which pushes a significant portion of air around the core engine, bypassing it. This "bypass" air produces additional thrust, making turbofans quieter and more fuel-efficient, especially at the lower speeds typical of commercial airliners. The higher bypass ratio in modern turbofans also contributes to lower emissions and noise, making them the preferred choice for most commercial aviation.
**In summary**: Turbojets are optimal for speed and high-altitude performance, while turbofans excel in fuel efficiency, noise reduction, and environmental impact, making them the dominant engine type in commercial aviation.

This is the first time I've seen the Hermeus Quarterhorse Mk 0 in action. It's literally just an engine with landing gear so far so we can't quite compare it to the SR-71, yet. Keeping pilots/people alive at 2,200 mph at 85,000 feet (SR-71) is an entirely different systems level genius, but for now, they're running protype testing with the intention of using the results/technology to create super/hyper sonic travel.
The old fashioned drawing board technology of the 1960s SR-71 still holds true, but they're trying to go beyond that. On this protype, they're using a turbine-based cycle engine (old fashioned reaction engine) that can transition from turbojet to ramjet - inflight. Combined turbojet-ramjet engine. In a nutshell, the challenge is taking an air breathing engine at sea level and then trying to fly it up to no oxygen, no pressure environment. You need two different engines to do that, smoothly.
Always worries me when they use the word "groundbreaking" with any aviation technology. We never want to break the ground...
Okay Hermeus, what does the "Mk" stand for? M/Ma is Mach. k = one thousand?
