We did the STC field testing.
Air 1st carried out the STC field testing for the five-blade composite MT-Propeller on both the Mitsubishi MU-2 and the Twin Commander — and is the dealer for these propellers across the Americas. They are ordered here, and installed here.
The installation
Five blades, composite
Natural-composite blades with nickel leading edges, constant speed, with feathering and reverse.
Built in Straubing
Propellers ship directly from the MT-Propeller factory in Straubing, Germany to Aiken, South Carolina.
Installed on the same field
Fitted at Carolina Turbine Support, the FAA Part 145 station that works exclusively on MU-2s.
Complete kit
Price includes spinner assemblies, propeller de-icing systems and complete de-ice kits.
Published, not on application
