Swiss private jet that's trying to disrupt industry,know how?

• Switzerland-based Pilatus Aircraft recently delivered its first jet, the PC-24, a $8.9 million private jet.
• The PC-24 is the first in a new class of "Super Versatile Jets," or SVJs, which combine the performance of a jet like a turboprop plane.
• It can land on and take-off from shorter runways than similar jets, as well as unpaved surfaces like grass, gravel, or dirt.
• PlaneSense, a fractional ownership company that took delivery of the first ever PC-24, recently invited Business Insider on a demo flight. Here's what it was like to fly privately in the world's first SVJ.

There some necessary reasons to fly private, provided it is affordable.

1. Flexibility: It is convenient for private flyers, and may be must for some, having frequent changing needs of business, demands and circumstances.

2. Yes, to own a plane requires a big investment of time, energy, and resources. PlaneSense offers, fractional ownership, providing ease. If some one/company owns an aircraft,it requires maintenance, operations, staffing, licensing etc. You own a share of an aircraft which is managed by a company like PlaneSense. After purchasing the shares, you simply pay a monthly maintenance fee, and an hourly fee when you're onboard the plane - that covers fuel and staff. This ' Fractional aircraft ownership'.

PlaneSense, was founded in 1995, has more than 40 aircraft in flight. The average age of the fleet is under five years, as it purchases new planes to refurbish for old ones. Sells older ones on the second-hand market, to keep its fleet in good order.

In February, the company took ownership of a brand new jet, the first one of its model to ever be delivered.

The PC-24, made by Switzerland-based Pilatus Aircraft, is a natural fit for PlaneSense - and not just because the company already owns a large number of Pilatus turboprop PC-12s.

More like a flexible propeller plane, although it's powered by jet engines and has the speed, range, and maximum altitude the plane can land on and take-off from much shorter runways.

For demo flight, PlaneSense invited Business Insider and other outlets to tour the PC-24. We flew from Teterboro in New Jersey to Chatham in Cape Cod, a short airstrip about 45 minutes away by air, to show the jet can operate on such runways and how flexible private flying can be, Antoniadis offered to detour to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, to tour PlaneSense's operations center, then flew back.

It has speedy and comfortable, air-to-ground Wi-Fi for a light jet.
