MT-Propeller Facts

Reduced Weight – MT Natural Composite Propellers are significantly lighter than aluminum propeller systems.
This is a weight savings where it is most important, on the end of your engine crankshaft.

Reduced vibration – Aluminum supports harmonic vibration. Composite does not.
Other parts of your plane (gyros, motor mounts, radios, heat muffs, cowlings) will last longer with reduced vibration.

Greater Strength – These are the same blades and hub that are used in our Unlimited Aerobatic Propeller Series. We also use stainless steel instead of aluminum for the leading edge guard.

Life Unlimited – Metal props have absolute dimension limits. Every time you have a nick filed out and the prop dressed, you get closer to that limit. At some point it will exceed the use tolerances and must be scrapped. In addition, each time a metal prop is dressed, you will change the optimized performance dimensions established by the manufacturer.
MT Propellers, when overhauled, are brought back to exact factory new dimensions.

Steel Hub Inserts – MT Propeller hubs use a steel bearing insert that is replaceable. Standard hubs wear against the machined aluminum and must be completely replaced when worn outside of tolerance.

Quieter – 3 blade conversions result in smaller diameter compared to 2-blade installations. Shorter blades run quieter than long blades due to the lower tip speeds. Another advantage of lower tip speeds is the maintenance of smooth airflow across the blades. This results in more lift/thrust.

Less Drag – A smaller prop arc disk has less drag than larger diameter prop arc discs.

Look Cool – your plane will look faster and more modern with the sleek MT Prop hanging on the front.

More Ground Clearance – A smaller diameter 3-blade to replace a 2-blade installation will provide less chance of prop damage from objects picked up from the ground.

Domestic Service Center – MT has a service center in Florida that does complete repairs and overhaul of MT Props.

Adds Resale Value – Like fine artwork or air conditioning in a car, you get to enjoy the benefits while it is yours, then get back what you paid for it in the future

Fully Warranted – 1 year or 1000 hours (which ever occurs first) for any manufacturing defects.

Choice of Colors – White, Black or Grey. Custom colors available with small up-charge.
