BLR Aerospace Introduces
BLR Aerospace recently introduced a new ultra-quiet, lightweight propeller system called Whisper Prop™. Designed to improve King Air comfort, performance and safety, the five-blade, carbon fiber propeller with natural composite core is manufactured by MT-Propeller of Atting, Germany.
The Whisper Prop system is certified and available for installation on King Airs individually or as a package with BLR Winglet Systems. The Winglets increase wing aspect ratio to reduce induced drag. By increasing wing efficiency, the winglets provide superior speed, climb, fuel efficiency and handling qualities.
According to the company, flight test data show that Whisper Prop provides a 30-50 percent reduction in noise, measured in dB, depending on frequency, when compared to the standard King Air 90GTx propeller. In conjunction with the BLR Winglets, the system also delivers runway length reductions up to 33 percent, as well as significant gains in useful load. Other benefits include access to shorter, local fields to reduce trip times with improved safety margins. When purchased together, the winglets and propeller come with a certified Flight Manual Supplement verifying superior performance when compared to the factory 90GTx performance manual.
