STC for MT-Propeller on Piper PA-28s

By · · Leave a Comment

MT-Propeller has received an FAA STC for the installation of its 3-blade natural composite propeller on the Piper PA-28R(T)-201T powered by Continental TSIO-360-F or TSIO-360-FB engines.

This installation is already certified by EASA, according to officials with the German company.

Officials add the installation features:

  • Increased cruise performance by 2-3 kts
  • Up to 8 kg (17.637 pounds) less weight than the original propeller
  • Bonded on stainless steel leading edge for best erosion protection of the blades.

Due to the smaller diameter the MTV-12 MT-Propeller, the Piper PA-28R(T)-201T has more ground clearance for less blade tip erosion and FODs, company officials said, adding the natural composite blades have no life limitation and are repairable in case of a FOD.
