Raisbeck Engineering announced the FAA certification of its 4-Blade Swept Propellers for the King Air 350 family. The FAA certification follows a four-year development program, including two-and-a-half years of flight testing of five different designs, including three five-blade versions. Since launching the Swept-Blade program, Raisbeck’s engineers have flight-tested 12 different propeller designs on King Airs.
The company’s engineers are now developing a companion EPIC Performance Package for the 350, which includes a target increase in Maximum Power Cruise Speed of over 10 knots. It will be an option for 350 prop purchasers, and only offered with the Swept Blade Propellers. Current buyers of 350 propellers will be offered a very special price if they desire the EPIC Performance Package at a later date.
