Raisbeck launches new composite 5-blade swept propeller for Beechcraft King Air 200 series:
21 October 2019:Raisbeck Engineering has launched a new composite 5-blade swept propeller for Beechcraft King Air 200 series aircraft. It has been designed by Hartzell Propeller specifically for King Air 200, B200, and B200GT aircraft, and STC'd by Raisbeck Engineering.
It has a 30 per cent noise reduction throughout the aircraft and constructed of structural carbon fiber composite with nickel cobalt leading edges to protect against foreign object damage, the Composite 5-Blade Swept Propellers optimise airfoil efficiency permitting for a larger 96-inch diameter propeller with less blade tip noise. This next generation of propellers offers King Air operators an average of 48 pounds total weight savings versus OEM installed propellers, 16.5 per cent performance in runway acceleration, 48 per cent better in prop reverse and 25.8 per cent better in engine-out climb scenarios with flaps up. The propeller also features unlimited blade life, thereby lowering maintenance and overhaul costs.
"Raisbeck's singular focus has always been about performance and added value for aircraft owners," said company President, Lynn Thomas. "We're excited to be working with Hartzell to expand our offerings of propellers for the King Air 200 aircraft."
