What is the wingspan of the PC-12 NGX?

• A. 53 feet 4 inches
• B. 47 feet 3 inches
• C. 14 feet
• D. 60 feet

Answer: (A)

Wingspan is the distance from one wingtip to the other, a dimension that influences hangar size and aerodynamics. The PC-12 NGX has a wingspan of 53 feet 4 inches, which matches the typical span for this family of aircraft. This makes sense because the NGX’s wing design is a refinement of the same basic airframe, preserving the same overall span. The other numbers don’t fit this airplane’s size class: 14 feet would be far too short to be the wingspan, and 60 feet would be noticeably broader than the known profile for the PC-12 family, while 47 feet 3 inches would be an unusually smaller span for this aircraft.
