Many Firsts – MT-Propeller
Many Firsts
MT-Propeller – a long time of Innovation in plane propeller improvement and manufacturing.
MT-Propeller, when based in 1981 by Gerd Mühlbauer, at all times had the goal to make propeller powered touring extra snug. Gerd Mühlbauer, an engineer and take a look at pilot, at all times centered on the shopper’s wants, like all his administration and engineering workers is doing.
With this imaginative and prescient, MT-Propeller created many firsts in historical past for the Normal Aviation World:
In 1981 the first electrical fixed velocity propeller worldwide was created and licensed. It improved efficiency of motor gliders and light-weight plane. And made full feathering for small plane engines potential.
This was adopted by creating the full reversible hydraulically managed fixed velocity propellers for piston engines, which simplified touchdown on brief runways and on water.
Searching for extra choices and totally different airplanes, MT-Propeller created greater than 27 licensed propeller fashions till now. These propeller fashions will be mixed with greater than 220 aerodynamic blade designs to make a customized match for each utility.
This has already led to greater than 220 STCs worldwide to retrofit current airplanes with MT-Propellers.
Now MT-Propeller is already supplying 90% of all new European plane and 30% of the brand new US plane utilizing a piston or turbine engine with the two,3,4,5 bladed propellers.
In 12 months 2004 the first 5 bladed full feathering prop with reversing was licensed on the Shorts Skyvan SC-7.
Within the turbine powered world many Firsts will be claimed once more from MT-Propeller:
First 5 bladed licensed composite turbine powered propeller on:
- TBM 700/850 Collection, the quickest in manufacturing single engine airplane
Pilatus PC12, greater than 150 are flying already with MT-Propellers. - King Air 90/200/300 Collection with the low noise, improved total efficiency, MT 5 bladed propellers.
- The brand new Blackhawk PT6A-67A King Air 350, pushing this plane with MT 5 bladed props to 340+ KTAS and making it the quickest typical turbo prop obtainable at the moment
- Cessna 425 Collection
- Piper Cheyenne PA31T and T1
- Piper Cheyenne PA42-1000, flying 360 KTAS with the MT-Propellers
- Cessna 208 Caravan
and lots of extra.
With greater than 2500 propellerturbine powered plane transformed to the MT-Propeller system, MT made the 5 bladed prop an trade commonplace, main the innovation and made rivals to comply with.
Decrease noise, decrease vibration for a extra snug trip with decrease fatigue for pilots and passengers mixed with a greater take off, quicker climb and cruise was the results of the very long time analysis in propeller design.
… and the story goes on.
October 2016
Watch the video of the primary testflight
ANOTHER BIG FIRST, which can change the Normal Aviation Propeller Powered Plane within the close to future, occurred in October 2016.
MT-Propeller egineers and take a look at pilots flight examined the WORLDs first 7 bladed propeller used on a Normal Aviation Airplane.
The take a look at flights, 8 flights in whole with 5 hrs flight time contained a useful take a look at, efficiency take a look at and noise take a look at with very promising outcomes.
In an uneventful take a look at flight, all the system carried out on the PT6A-135A turbine put in in a Piper Cheyenne like used already for a few years.
MT-Propeller is in technical talks with turbine engine producers, to work collectively for the certification and customizing the gear field to get the very best out of the The Silent 7 how MT likes to name the 7 bladed prop.
The Silent 7 is already kind licensed since Februar 2020.
Extra info on the MT-Propeller techniques and in addition a sound file of the fly by with the WORLDS FIRST 7 bladed prop will be requested from

March, 2019
Worlds first 9 bladed prop began the flight take a look at program
on March eleventh 2019 and preliminary outcomes are very promising.
Operate, Dealing with and Operation on the plane is like these props have been in service already for years.
This new improvement for low noise, excessive efficiency future airplanes pushed by electrical powered engines, turbine engines or geared piston engines for propellers with low RPM.
Relying on propeller pushed airplane designs, prime speeds of as much as 430 KTAS are realizable with such a set up, by lowering on the identical time the gas consumption to a turbo prop from a jet.
MT-Propeller proves with this milestone that the innovation in propeller pushed airplanes is simply in the beginning.
Flying a Jet consolation airplane powered with props mixed with the lowest gas consumption turns into a close to future.

One other World’s First Takes First Flight –
The 11-bladed Propeller!
MT-Propeller made one other World’s First to discover the chances in propeller know-how.
On a PA31T1 geared up with the P&W PT6A-135A generators, the World’s first 11-bladed propeller took the sky with a formidable noise and sound signature.
The very promising ends in static thrust, 15% enhance over the usual licensed 5-bladed propeller, and the jet-noise signature confirmed one other time what may very well be potential within the propeller developments.
This propeller system mixed with a low rpm energy provide from a turbine or an electrical engine opens new prospects for efficiency, effectivity and noise.
