by swisscham in Engineering, Manufacturing
Pilatus, the aircraft manufacturer from Stans (NW), wants to sell its propeller plane also in China in the future. The Swiss company is negotiating with a Chinese partner over a Joint venture contract, but there is still no signed agreement at present, according to the President of the Board of Directors Oscar J. Schwenk. The aircraft manufacturer wants to set its Pilatus Porter PC-6 and the turbo propulsion machine PC-12 on the Chinese market. The military training planes PC-21, PC-9 M and PC-7 MkII are explicitly not involved in the negotiations.
