NASA has relocated a Pilatus PC-12 aircraft from Glenn Research Center in Cleveland to Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California, to expand its flight research capabilities across the agency. The PC-12 was originally acquired by NASA Glenn Research Center in 2022 for advanced technology development purposes.
The PC-12 is a single-engine turboprop aircraft known for its versatility in research applications. While specific technical specifications for NASA's configuration were not detailed in the announcement, the aircraft will continue supporting research initiatives that were previously based at Glenn Research Center.
