Five Blade Front End Looks SERIOUS
MT-Propeller has yet received an FAA STC for their next
generation 5-blade scimitar composite propeller
MTV-27-1-E-C-F-R(P)/CFR225-55f for the Socata Model TBM700 A, B,
C1, C2, N with the Engine P&WC PT6A-64, -66D. The installation
is certified by FAA STC No. SA02958NY and EASA STC No 10033038.
The new STC provides increased performance (MT claims some 5%
improved take-off & climb, and 3-5 kts additional cruise with
1800 rpm), maximum durability and reliability, suitable for all
weather operation.
The propeller installation reportedly provides:
- Provides best vibration damping characteristics for almost
vibration free propeller operation
- Has bonded on stainless steel leading edges for best erosion
protection of the blades
- Reduces the weight by approx. 7 lbs compared with the original
metal propeller
- Provides a cooler ITT on ground with condition lever at low and
high idle position
- Has no propeller speed restrictions on ground while operating
in low idle
- Gives more ground clearance for less FODs.
- Provides significant cabin noise and vibration reduction
- All models comply with the highest European noise
regulations.
The high-tech composite blades have no life limitation and can
be repaired even in case of a FOD. MT-Propeller is holder of over
100 STCs worldwide with more than 15.000 propeller systems flying.
The produce 30 propeller models -- from 2-blade to 6-blade
hydraulically controlled variable pitch propeller, and for engines
producing up to 5000hp, as well as 2-blade to 4-blade electrically
controlled variable pitch props, for engines producing up to 350hp
-- and a series of two blade fixed pitch propellers.
