Piper PA46-600TP and PA46-701TP
MT-Propeller Vice President Martin Albrecht says that the installation features the following advantages:
- Shorter take-off distance by approx. -10 % (SL, ISA conditions)
- Enhanced climb performance by approx. 5 % (SL, ISA conditions)
- Cruise performance increased by 2-3 KTAS
- Comply with the strict German noise regulations 2010 - „Landeplatz Lärmschutz Verordnung“ for unrestricted airport operations in Germany and other European Countries!
The long-time proven 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.
