Wichita, Kan. (July 26, 2022) – McCauley Propeller Systems today announced at EAA AirVenture 2022 that testing is rapidly progressing on its new 105-inch diameter propeller, featuring four aluminum swept blades, for the Beechcraft King Air B300 series.
We are excited about the progress made and overall testing performance. Not only will customers receive a propeller with a modern swept appearance, but will also benefit from reduced noise in the cabin and cockpit. Customers will also recognize a propeller weight savings of more than 50 pounds per aircraft, thereby increasing overall useful load for the operator. The result of the work we are doing now with our test program will help us move through certification, ultimately bringing a high-performance King Air B300 series propeller to the market.John Dandurand, vice president and general manager, McCauley Propeller Systems
