Piper Aircraft is offering a seven-blade propeller as optional equipment for its M700 Fury turboprop single following supplemental type certificate (STC) approval by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). The company said it expects FAA approval “in the near future.”
Piper said the prop, manufactured by MT-Propeller, is formed of advanced composites and designed to boost aerodynamic efficiency. The seven-blade model improves performance while enhancing interior comfort by reducing noise, the company said.
