dEvElopmENT ANd FAA CERTIFICATIoN FlIGHT TEsTINGFirst conforming propellers with the new blades were delivered toRaisbeck’s flight-test facilities in June2012, following2½yearsofCFDanalysesandresultingstudiesandtrade-offs.ThreedifferentpropellerswereevaluatedonafullyinstrumentedKingAirB200:thecurrentHartzellOEMpropellerfortheB200GT(93”diameter);the current Raisbeck Turbofan Power Prop (94” diameter); and thenewSweptBladeTurbofanProp (96”diameter). Incremental increasesin performance between these three were documented, and fell asexpected,withperformancefollowingincreaseddiameter.

FAA flight testing was completed in August 2012, with STC grantedin January 2013. Combined with the other elements of the EPICPerformance Package, Swept Blade Turbofan Propellers provideunparalleled performance increases across the entire flightenvelopeforeveryKingAir200everbuilt.Theyare uniquelycertifiedwithalternateFARPart25BalancedFieldLengthsfortrueAirlinelevelsofoperationalsafety.
