	Pilatus PC12
		Pilatus designed into the PC-12 from the outset a forward air stair door for the passengers, and a huge cargo door at the rear to allow loading of cargo by forklift.

		Building the PC-12 was quite a gamble by Pilatus Aircraft Limited, because throughout the design stage, the use of single turbine engined aircraft for passenger carrying commercial operations at night or under the IFR were not permitted.
