Pilatus Leads Sustainable Aviation with Solar Fuels and Eco-friendly Jets
Swiss business jet manufacturer Pilatus is making strides in sustainable aviation. It has partnered with Synhelion to produce solar fuels, aiming to supply 200 tons annually for its own flight operations from 2027. The company is also investing in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and using recyclable materials in its business jet interiors.
Pilatus is committed to eco-friendly production. It uses natural materials and sustainable techniques in its business jets. The PC-24 model, for instance, uses 'F/LAB Natural Oil' instead of synthetic paints, reducing volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions and preserving wood veneers. The company also offers carpets without artificial dyes for environmentally conscious customers.
The PC-24 sets new standards for the business jet industry with its eco-friendly cabin interior. It uses recyclable materials like fabrics and wool carpets, reducing water and energy consumption during cleaning. Pilatus invests in SAF for its PC-24 and PC-12 models, further reducing their ecological footprint in operation.
Pilatus is at the forefront of sustainable aviation, combining luxurious travel with environmental protection. Its partnership with Synhelion for solar fuels and its use of sustainable materials and production techniques in its business jets demonstrate its commitment to a greener future. The company continues to invest in technologies that reduce the environmental impact of its operations.
