MT Propeller offers propeller with much enhanced features
Atting, March 2022 – Europe’s Aviation Authority EASA has granted German propeller manufacturer MT-Propeller Entwicklung GmbH a supplemental type certificate (EASA STC 10078671 R2) for the installation of their 3-blade propeller MTV-12-D/188-59( ) with new scimitar blades on aircraft of the Cessna FR 172 () series.
