MT-Propeller Says New Prop Increases Performance And Reduces Noise

MT-Propeller Entwicklung GmbH has received the EASA STC 10060053 for the next generation 5-blade Quiet Fan Jet scimitar composite propeller MTV-5-1-D-C-F-R(A)/CFR210-56 on the Cessna P210N Silver Eagle equipped with a Rolls Royce 250-B17F/2 turbine.

The MT-Propeller natural composite blades provide significant inside and outside noise reduction, according to the company. They have no life limitation, and are repairable in case of an FOD. The company also claims they also provide best vibration damping characteristics for almost vibration free propeller operation and have bonded on nickel alloy leading edges for superior erosion protection of the blades.

MT-Propeller President Gerd Muehlbauer says, that the installation features the following advantages:

• Reduced Ground roll & takeoff distance over 50 ft. obstacle by more than 15%
• Enhanced climb performance by 4%
• Same Cruise performance with jet like noise and vibration level
• Approx. 3.7 kg (8.1 lb.) less weight than the original 3-blade metal propeller
• Complies with strict German noise regulations 2010
• Improved ramp appeal

MT-propeller also says that due to the smaller diameter the 5-blade MT-Propeller for the Cessna P210N Silver Eagle has more ground clearance for less blade tip erosion.

MT-propeller says obtaining an FAA STC is in progress.
