Simply go to Raytheon web site and make a search for Pilatus, tell me what you find ! They say themselves IT IS A PILATUS, with improvment on flight systems, mainly an automatic system to control the torque, as this plane is a primary trainer for jet jockeys who never will have to control torque.
Do your homework first, then talk !
