MT-Propeller held the biannually training for all approved Service Centers in the US Headquarter MTPUSA in DeLand Florida.

Atting - February 2020

End of January MT-Propeller Entwicklung GmbH has held its biannually worldwide, Training Sessions Meeting in Daytona Beach FL, USA. A gathering of representatives from fifty (50) propeller shops, representing fourteen (14) countries and five (5) provinces, for a total of 97 individuals, including the MT-Propeller owned facility MTPUSA in Deland, Florida.

MT-Propeller Vice President, Engineer and Testpilot Martin Albrecht lead through the program and presented new technical content and changes to improve the service to the customer. The time spent together exchanging information between the service professionals and members of the MT-Propeller development department constantly improve product maintenance, overhaul quality and customer service. In the near future all shops will be able to support best our composite blades and do all work to repair and overhaul them inclusive leading edge replacement.

MT-Propeller certified service stations have to have trained and qualified technicians who attend the biannually MT-Propeller training. They must use the current MT-Propeller service documentation and the required tools and workshop equipment and they have to establish a quality management to verify their work on MT-Propeller products.

All together MT-Propeller has already certified 62 Service Stations all over the world - in the US, Canada, South America, Europe, Africa, Australia/New Zealand - for excellent propeller service for the 25,000+ MT-Propeller Systems, which are flying worldwide on aircraft up to business airliner.

Trainings for European, Asian, Australian and African Service Stations are usually held at the Headquater Facility in Atting, Germany.

Worlds first 9 bladed prop started the flight test program

Atting, March 19

Worlds first 9 bladed prop started the flight test program on March 11th 2019 and initial results are very promising.

Function, handling and operation of the aircraft is like those props have been in service already for years.

This new development is made for low noise, high performance future airplanes driven by electric powered engines, turbine engines or geared piston engines for propellers with low RPM.

Depending on propeller driven airplane designs, top speeds of up to 430 KTAS are realizable with such a installation, by reducing at the same time the fuel consumption to a turbo prop from a jet.

MT-Propeller proves with this milestone that the innovation in propeller driven airplanes is just at the beginning.

Flying a Jet comfort airplane powered by props combined with the lowest fuel consumption becomes a near future.
