Watch: Business Jet that Can Land on an Unpaved Runway? The Pilatus PC-24!

Woodbridge Airfield to the north east of London offers optimum test conditions: Pilatus spent two weeks there in June 2018 testing the PC-24’s landing and take-off capabilities on the airfield’s unmade runway for the first time.
