Value Added: King Air 350 Operators Get Choice of Swept Blade Airplane Propellers from Raisbeck

Raisbeck Engineering has begun FAA certification flight-testing on the first of two brand new Swept Blade Propeller designs for the King Air 350. These airplane propellers incorporate the latest swept blade technology that is also available for King Air 90 and 200 models.

The Raisbeck/Hartzell four-bladed Aluminum Swept Blade Propellers are currently in FAA Certification flight-testing and is expected to be completed by the end of September. The five-bladed Composite Swept Blade Propellers begin certification flight-testing on the same King Air 350 in October, and will be completed in early November of this year.

Raisbeck Engineering and Hartzell Propeller Inc. have a long-standing relationship in developing swept-blade technology for the entire King Air family. The results of these efforts provide increased, across-the-board performance, a truly quiet environment, and stunning ramp presence.

Both versions of the newest 350 props will be on display at Raisbeck’s booth during this year’s NBAA, held November 17-19 in Las Vegas, Nevada. King Air 350 owners can place orders for the new props at the show. Deliveries begin in January 2016.
