Hartzell Propeller has secured an FAA Type Certificate for a\nnew five-blade carbon fiber propeller system for the King Air 200 fleet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
These custom designed props will be available through\nRaisbeck Engineering via STC for King Air 200, B200, and B200GT aircraft. This\nnew propeller system, which increases performance across the board, is the\nfirst five-blade structural composite propeller certified on the King Air 200\nseries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new prop, manufactured by Hartzell, will be on display\nat the 2019 NBAA Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition (NBAA-BACE) at\nRaisbeck’s Central Hall Booth C11443 in the Las Vegas Convention Center, Oct.\n22-24. Raisbeck Engineering, a leading provider of performance enhancement\nsystems for business and commercial aircraft, is offering the new performance\nenhancing props through its authorized dealer network. The FAA STC is expected\nto be complete in November 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“This latest performance improvement for the King Air\n200 series extends the longstanding and excellent relationship between Raisbeck\nand Hartzell Propeller,” said Hartzell Propeller Executive Vice President\nand General Manager JJ Frigge. “We are pleased to provide another\nadvanced-design high-performance propeller system for owners and operators of\nthe venerable King Air turboprops.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deliver Increased Performance<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The new specially designed propellers deliver more than 15\npercent greater takeoff acceleration, over 10 percent better climb rate and\nfive to seven knots faster cruise performance compared to original equipment\npropellers. In addition, these new composite propellers are noticeably quieter\nwith more comfortable cabin noise levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Raisbeck’s focus has always been about performance and\nadded value for aircraft owners,” said Raisbeck President Lynn Thomas.\n“We’re excited to be working with Hartzell to expand our offerings of\npropellers for the King Air 200 aircraft.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Raisbeck also offers King Air 200 aircraft owners and\noperators the option of an aluminum four-blade swept Hartzell-designed\npropeller, which are aerodynamically designed to provide more thrust with less\nnoise. Raisbeck is now taking orders for the composite five-blade swept\npropeller. King Air 200 series owners and operators are encouraged to contact\nRaisbeck or a Raisbeck authorized dealer for more information and pricing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Weight Savings and Larger Diameter<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Constructed of structural carbon fiber composite with nickel\ncobalt leading edges to protect against foreign object damage, the new\ncomposite five-blade swept propellers optimize airfoil efficiency allowing for\na larger 96-inch diameter propeller with less blade tip noise. This next\ngeneration of propellers offers King Air operators an average of 48 pounds\ntotal weight savings versus OEM installed propellers. The propeller also\nfeatures unlimited blade life, thereby lowering maintenance and overhaul costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hartzell Propeller utilizes the strength of lightweight\nstructural composites and robotic manufacturing technologies to optimize\npropeller performance in all flight phases. The company is the global leader in\nadvanced technology aircraft propeller design and manufacturing for business,\ncommercial and government customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hartzell Propeller designs next-generation propellers with\ninnovative “blended airfoil” technology and manufactures them with\nrevolutionary machining centers, robotics and custom resin transfer molding\ncuring stations.
