FAA/EASA Certified: MT 5-blade Prop For Socata TBM 700/850

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.
