Piper Aircraft announces certification of the seven-blade propeller on the M700 airplane, bringing more efficiency, less noise, and better performance.

The manufacturer Piper Aircraft announced on Tuesday (14) that its M700 FURY airplane received European certification to operate with a new seven-blade propeller, developed by MT-Propeller. The approval was granted by EASA, which validated the modification as safe and compatible with the aircraft.

According to the company, FAA certification in the United States is expected to occur soon, further expanding the use of the technology.

The new seven-blade propeller was designed with advanced composite materials and aerodynamic optimization. In practice, this means greater efficiency in airflow and better utilization of engine power.

Certification expands operational possibilities of the M700

With EASA’s approval, operators can now install the seven-blade propeller as a certified modification. This expands the aircraft’s configuration options for different mission profiles.

Among the main operational benefits are:

Better performance on short runways
Noise reduction in sensitive areas
Greater efficiency in executive flights

These factors make the model even more versatile in the market.

Currently, the M700 airplane is certified for up to six passengers and achieves a maximum cruising speed of 300 knots, equivalent to about 555 km/h.
