New Utility Trainer Based On P-750 XSTOL

The companies plan to offer a variant of the P-750 Extremely Short Take-Off and Landing (XSTOL) produced by PAL for the USAF Light Mobility Aircraft (LiMA) competition. This multi-use platform can be used for passengers, utility, cargo, surveillance, agricultural projects and firefighting.

"Our team combines the versatility and power of the P-750 XSTOL with L-3's military systems integration experience, training and integrated logistics support capability," said James Burkhardt, president of L-3 Platform Integration. "The L-3 and PAL team delivers tremendous value without sacrificing performance."

"Our P-750 XSTOL has already proven itself in the most demanding operating environments on the planet, including UN World Food Program work in Chad, Sudan and Nepal; humanitarian work in the highlands of Papua New Guinea; and aerial survey work in the Australian outback and the freezing extremes of Alaska.  No other aircraft comes close to the performance, ruggedness and reliability of the P-750 XSTOL," said Damian Camp, chief executive officer of Pacific Aerospace.
