100,000 MT-Propeller blade manufactured
Awesome success story
MT-Propeller natural composite blades have been a success since they were first built.
Because of their natural composite construction, they are much lighter than aluminum propeller systems, have a higher vibration dampening coefficient compared to foam core composite blades. By this they also reduce vibration because the composite material does not support harmonics. No restricted rpm ranges, red bands for those blades on certified installations.
MT-Propeller natural composite blades have been a success since they were first built. Now, the 100,000th prop blade has left the factory in Straubing, Germany.
Those blades have an unlimited blade life, because they can be brought back to the exact factory dimensions during overhaul. Even after a ground strike the blade tips can be rebuilt to the new original dimensions.
The first MT-Propeller blades manufactured in year 1981 are still in service. Their light weight makes it possible to add more blades to a propeller system, which means that 3-blade conversions, for example, can run more quietly than large 2-blade systems, and in addition, smaller propeller arc disks have less drag than larger diameter propeller arc disks. Even 7-bladed propellers for turboprops are now available with lower loads on the engine during operation, compared to classic propeller systems.
This makes MT propellers the first choice for many aircraft owners and aerobatic pilots.
MT propeller blades are also the best choice for wind tunnels, airships and hovercraft.
About MT-Propeller
MT-Propeller is the world leading natural composite propeller manufacturer with 30 certified propeller models from 2-blade to 7-blade hydraulically controlled variable pitch propeller, for engines producing up to 5000hp, and 2-blade to 4-blade electrically controlled variable pitch propeller, for engines producing up to 350hp as well as two blade fixed pitch propellers.
The high performance, light weight and durable MT-Propellers can be used on aircraft with piston engines and propeller turbines, as well as on airships, wind tunnels and hovercraft. MT-Propellers can be developed for nearly every aircraft type from motor gliders to regional airliners.
Fulfilling the highest certification requirements they are also supplemental type certified on Part 25 aircraft.
MT-Propeller is holder of over 220 STCs worldwide and OEM supplier for more than 90% of the European Aircraft Industry as well as 30% of the US Aircraft Industry. More than 28 000 propeller systems with more than 100 000 blades are in service.
180 Million fleet hours where already performed on MT-Propellers.
With the longest industry TBO of 4500 hours or 6 years for the 5-bladed turbo prop MT-Propeller has proven the reliability over years.
A factory certified network of 62 service centers, provides best service and maintenance all over the world.
