FAA Grants STC For QFJ 5-Blade MT-Propeller On Beech King Air 350

Company Says Prop Provides Significant Performance Improvements

The FAA has issued an STC (#SA03525NY) for installation of the next generation MT-Propeller 5-blade scimitar composite propeller on the Beech King Air 300/350 Series aircraft powered by the P&WC PT6A-60A. The installation is also EASA certified by STC #10050861.

MT-Propeller President Gerd Muehlbauer says the propeller installation is a great improvement for the airplanes. He says the new 5-blade MT-Propellers provide a performance improvement of approximately 8% in take-off & climb and 4-5 kts in cruise for this aircraft type. There are no propeller speed restrictions on ground while operating in low idle. The ITTs are lower during start-up for less engine wear. Due to the smaller diameter of the 5-blade construction it has more ground clearance for less FODs.

The MTV-27 Propeller has also bonded on nickel alloy leading edges for superior erosion protection of the blades. Natural composite blades provide best vibration damping characteristics for almost vibration free propeller operation and a significant cabin noise reduction.

These special blades are repairable in case of Foreign Object Damage (FOD).

MT-Propellers have no life limitation and their construction provides maximum durability and reliability and they are suitable for all weather operation.

The company says all models comply with the strict German noise regulations 2010 – "Landeplatz Lärmschutz Verordnung" for unrestricted airport operations in Germany and other European Countries.
