Western Aircraft has installed its first Speed Cowl on a Pilatus PC-12 that the Boise, Idaho-based MRO provider said improves the performance of the single-engine turboprop. Developed by Edmo Distributors, which also holds the STC, the non-invasive modification increases ram air recovery to the aircraft's Pratt & Whitney PT6-67 engine.
