McCauley Developing New Four Blade Props For Predator B

General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Awards Contract For Testing, Production

McCauley Propeller Systems has won a contract from General Atomics Aeronautical Systems for testing and production of a new four-blade, metal propeller for the Predator B Unmanned Aircraft System.

The contract covers engineering testing and data analysis to support certification of the propeller system, together with the rate production of an undisclosed quantity of four-blade propeller systems for delivery in 2011. McCauley has supplied a three-blade prop for the Predator B aircraft since 2006, delivering the 200th in 2010. The four-blade propeller will provide the aircraft with better performance in certain operating environments.

Predator B is a medium-to-high-altitude, long-endurance UAS used as a multi-mission Intelligence Surveillance Reconnaissance and strike system by a variety of U.S. and allied customers.
