Quest Kodiak floatplane with 5-blade MT-Prop
EASA STC obtained
Atting, February 2021- MT-Propeller Entwicklung GmbH has received the EASA STC Nr. 10069627 REV. 1 for the 5-blade Quiet Fan Jet composite propeller MTV-27-1-E-C-F-R(P)/CFR240-55( ) on the Quest Aircraft Design LLC Kodiak 100 series with Aerocet 6650 floats powered by a Pratt & Whitney PT6A-34 propeller turbine. The FAA STC is in progress.
MT-Propeller has received the EASA STC for the 5-blade Quiet Fan Jet composite propeller MTV-27-1-E-C-F-R(P)/CFR240-55( ) on the Quest Aircraft Design LLC Kodiak 100 series with Aerocet 6650 floats powered by a Pratt & Whitney PT6A-34 propeller turbine.
MT-Propeller Vice President Martin Albrecht says, that the installation feature the following advantages:
- Take-Off improvement by 20%
- No propeller speed restrictions on ground while operating in low idle
- Lower ITTs during start-up for less engine wear
- Significant cabin noise - up to 5 dB(A) - and vibration reduction
- Unbeatable esthetic ramp appeal
- Comply with the strict German noise regulations 2010 - „Landeplatz Lärmschutz Verordnung“ for unrestricted airport operations in Germany and other European Countries!
- Max. RPM reduction to 2000 RPM with increased torque for 750 shp!
Due to the smaller diameter the MT-Propeller compared to the original metal propeller for the Kodiak 100 series has more ground clearance for less blade tip erosion and FODs.
The MT-Propeller natural composite blades provide significant inside and outside noise reduction. They have no life limitation and are repairable in case of a FOD.
They also provide best vibration damping characteristics for almost vibration free propeller operation and have bonded on nickel alloy leading edges for superior erosion protection of the blades.
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. 25,000 propeller systems with more than 85,000 blades are in service. 150 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.
