MT-Propeller has received an FAA STC for the next generation 3-blade scimitar composite propeller on the Beech Duchess 76 powered by Lycoming engines and other TC/STC approved piston engines.
The installation is already certified by the EASA.
According to company officials, the propeller installation: Provides best vibration damping characteristics for almost vibration free propeller operations; has bonded on stainless steel leading edge for best erosion protection of the blades; has a 22 pound weight reduction per propeller compared with the original propellers; provides enhanced cruise performance by 2 to 3 kts (MTOW, ISA); has unlimited blade life; FOD repairable blades; provides “significant” inside and outside noise reduction; and improves takeoff and climb performance.
That is great but I don’t see the old prop getting ADed to death like the props on the Travel Air. How about putting them on the Travel Air Maybe more of them would come out of hibernation. Im sure it will bolt right on. I will buy 2 left ones.
