Two of the most popular questions, at least for pilots and other students of aviation history, are: What are the top 10 planes of all time, and which one’s the greatest of them all?
Seems impossible, but we think we did it. Here’s how.
We started with a group of really great airplanes, which automatically turned into cross section of airplane types.
Then we narrowed things down even more by asking if there was a top dog among them. Usually, surprisingly, there was. That one made the list.
We think you’ll agree with at least two-thirds of our picks.
After our Top 10 Planes Of All Time, we present 25 others that a lot of you will argue belong on the main list. In many cases, you’d have a strong argument. Enjoy!
Pilatus PC-12
When it was launched in the early 1990s, the Pilatus PC-12 was a revelation. A single-engine turboprop, pressurized and with a big seating/cargo area with a huge side loading door, the PC-12 was a single-engine King Air. If that sounds like a great idea, we agree.
