McCauley Propeller Systems recently announced that testing is rapidly progressing on its new 105-inch diameter propeller, featuring four aluminum swept blades for the Beechcraft King Air B300 series aircraft.
The company says the new propellers will reduce noise in the cabin and cockpit, and provide a weight savings of more than 50 pounds per aircraft thereby increasing overall useful load.
King Air B300 owners and operators will also benefit from:
- Extended Time Between Overhaul (TBO) of 5,000 hours or 72 months
- Textron Aviation’s 4,000 hours or 36-month limited propeller warranty
- Installment of the McCauley propeller does not require changes to existing aircraft operating procedures or additional aircraft modifications
Certification of the propeller is expected this year and advanced orders are now being accepted through McCauley Propeller Systems or Authorized McCauley Service Facilities.
