Experience the
Composite Advantage with
MT Propellers

MT Propellers have become known and desired by operators of many types of aircraft for many reasons.

Lighter. Stronger. More Thrust. No Life Limits. Reduced Vibration.

STCs Available

We hold the rights to the Supplemental Type Certificates (STCs) for the installation of MT Propellers on Aviat, Beech, Cessna, Maule, Mooney, Piper, Experimental and more. From Cubs to Twin Turbines, we can prop them all.

Product data sheets and performance test data can be found on the STCs Available page.

+ 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 Polar Moment It takes power to swing mass. Less mass to swing with MT Props means that power can be used to produce thrust.
+ Reduced Vibration Aluminum supports harmonic vibration. Composite does not. (Have you ever seen a wooden tuning fork?) Other parts of your plane (gyros, motor mounts, radios, heat muffs, cowlings) will last longer with reduced vibration. Because of this natural immunity to harmonic vibration, MT props do not require RPM range limitations. Set the power and RPM to your needs without the worry and trouble of ‘restricted range RPM zones’. The molecules that make up all metal components ‘line up’ and create stress risers with vibration, flex and impact. Natural composite, by it’s nature, is immune to this property meaning no life limits with an MT Prop.
+ Greater Strength These are the same blades and hub that are used in our Unlimited Aerobatic Propeller Series. We also use very tough Nickel-Cobalt instead of soft 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 hardened stainless 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. We also use a rounded tip that is quieter than a square tip blade.
+ Fuel Savings Our 182 test platform ran 2300 rpm x 23” MP @ 130KTAS @ 12.5 GPH with the standard 2-blade metal prop. With the MT Composite we ran 2100 rpm x 24” MP @ 130 KTAS at 11.5 GPH.
+ Less Drag A smaller prop arc disk has less drag than larger diameter prop arc discs => more speed.
+ 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.
+ Many Service Centers MT has a worldwide network of prop shops that have trained and been approved to service MT Propellers.
+ Prop Strike Lab tests and field experience has shown less damage with MT Composite props. Usually, the tips were sheared off (rebuild-able) and the engine was not subjected to sudden stoppage. This will save you (and your insurance company ) time and money. Blades are easily repairable and your engine is undamaged.
+ 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.
+ Easy Installation Simply bolt it on. Uses existing prop governor.
+ Fully Warranted 1 year or 1,000 hours (which ever occurs first) for any manufacturing defects.
