The Pilatus PC-8D Twin Porter was a Swiss ten-seat light transport built by Pilatus Aircraft. It was a modified PC-6 Porter high-wing monoplane with the nose-mounted engine removed and two 290 hp Lycoming IO-540 piston engines mounted on the wing leading edges. Work began in 1966, and the prototype first flew on 28 November 1967. Only one aircraft was built, as flight testing was halted in 1969 and the type did not go into production. The twin-engined layout kept the PC-6 airframe but moved the power from the nose to the wings.
