Cirrus SR22 with 3-blade MT-Propeller
European-, US-, and Canadian STCs obtained
Atting, March 2026 - MT-Propeller Entwicklung GmbH received the EASA STC 10088138, FAA STC SA12273IB and TCCA STC SA26-25 for the installation of the scimitar 3-blade MTV-9-D/198-52() propeller on the Cirrus Model SR22 powered by a Lycoming IO-550-N engine.
This installation is also supplemental type certified in Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Colombia and New Zealand.
MT-Propeller received the EASA, FAA, and TCCA STCc for the installation of the scimitar 3-blade MTV-9-D/198-52() propeller on the Cirrus Model SR22.
MT-Propeller Vice President Martin Albrecht says that the installation features the following advantages:
• Enhanced take-off distance by approx. -7 % (MTOW, SL, ISA)
• Enhanced climb by approx. 3% (MTOW, ISA)
• Cruise performance increased by approx. 3 to 4 kts (Mid GW, ISA)
• Approx. 20 lbs less weight than the original aluminum propellers
• Inside noise is reduced by 3 to 4 dB(A)
The long-time proven MT-Propeller light weight 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 best 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.
No active AD, this is a safety record no other manufacturer has achieved so far.
The MT-Propeller fleet is approaching a total of 125 000+ propeller blades on 34 500+ propeller systems in operation and can look back on accumulated 200 million flight hours in over 45 years.
With the best damage tolerance and repairability, MT-Propeller has the lowest operational cost of any certified composite propeller manufacturer.
MT-Propeller is holder of more than 230 STCs worldwide and OEM supplier for more than 90% of the European Aircraft Industry as well as 55% of the US Aircraft Industry.
With the longest industry TBO of 4500 hours or 6 years for the 5-bladed turbo prop MT-Propeller has proven reliability for years.
A factory certified network of 62 service centers provides best service and maintenance all over the world.
