MT-Propeller has received the letter of acceptance of the EASA STC for the installation of the five-blade MT-Propeller Quiet Fan Jet MTV-27 propellers on the Hawker Beechcraft 300, 300LW, B300 and B300C powered by Pratt and Whitney Canada PT6A-60A/67A turbine engines. The engines were also recently approved on the King Air 200 series.

The installation is already certified by EASA, FAA, Transport Canada, ANAC Brazil, INAC Venezuela and DGAC Mexico.

According to MT-Propeller president Gerd Muehlbauer, the installation of the five-blade MT-Propeller on the Beech King Air 300/350 series: provides best vibration damping characteristics for almost vibration free propeller operations; has bonded on nickel alloy leading edges for superior erosion protection of the blades; provides a general performance improvement (8% take-off and climb, 4-5 kts cruise); has no propeller speed restrictions on ground while operating in low idle; has more ground clearance for less FODs; has lower ITTs during start-up for less engine wear; provides a significant cabin noise and vibration reduction; has an unbeatable aesthetic ramp appeal; has no life limitation; and has FOD repairable blades

All models comply with the strict German Landeplatz Lärmschutz Verordnung noise regulations of 2010 for unrestricted airport operations in Germany and other European countries.

MT-Propeller is a leading natural composite propeller manufacturer with 30 propeller models from two-blade to seven-blade hydraulically controlled variable pitch propellers for engines producing up to 5,000hp, and two-blade to four-blade electrically controlled variable pitch propellers for engines producing up to 350hp as well as two blade fixed pitch propellers.
