MT-Propeller is happy to announce, following an excellent cooperation with Viking Air Ltd, the following STC is issued by Transport Canada; STC Nr. SA20-49 for the installation of the four-blade MTV-16-1-E-C-F-R(P)/CFR240-55a MT-Propeller on the Viking DHC-2TMk3 Turbo Beaver powered by the Pratt & Whitney PT6A-27 or -34 engine.
The advantages of the propeller installation on the Turbo Beaver are:
- Best vibration damping characteristics for almost vibration free propeller operation

- Improved take off performance
- Improved ground clearance for less FOD
- Reduced outside and inside noise
- Unlimited blade life, especially for water and sea plane operation
