PC-12 Silent 7 Propeller

News

The popular 7-bladed MTV-47 MT-Propeller "The Silent 7" is now approved for even shorter take-off distances to further increase the operational capability of the PC-12 through EASA STC 10014953 R6 and FAA STC SA02742NY.

AFMS for details on the take-off performance is available from MT-Propeller.



Even shorter take-off distances are possible for the Pilatus PC-12 by the latest version of the 7-bladed MTV-47 MT-Propeller "The Silent 7".

More advantages of the installation of the Silent 7 on the PC-12 Series:

- No engine modifications necessary

- Certified Ground roll distance reduced by approx. 10%; AFMS amended

- Certified Take-off distance over 50 ft obstacle reduced by approx. 15%; AFMS amended

- Climb performance improved

- Aircraft noise level is up to 4 dB(A) less than with the original metal propeller

- Comply with the strict German noise regulations 2010 - „Landeplatz Lärmschutz Verordnung“ for for unrestricted airport operations in Germany and other European Countries!

- Cabin noise is reduced by 6 to 7 dB(A) depending on location

Due to the smaller diameter the 7-bladed MT-Propeller for the Pilatus PC-12 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.
