KING AIR 350 WITH RAISBECK SWEPT COMPOSITE PROPELLERS BEGINS FAA CERTIFICATION TESTING
SEATTLE - Raisbeck Engineering's latest swept-blade propeller, the new Composite Swept-Blade 5-way Propeller for the Beechcraft King Air 350 series, has begun FAA certification flight testing at Boeing Field, Seattle, Washington. The Raisbeck/Hartzell team completed all ground and flight vibration and governor output pressure surveys Sunday, September 7th, 2014. The program began company and FAA certification flight testing the following Monday, scheduled to be completed by the end of September, 2014.
The cooperative development program between Raisbeck and Hartzell is the 3rd in the Swept-Blade series; the first two were for the King Air 200 and C90/E90 series. Both programs have proven successful in sales and deliveries since the launch of the partnership in late 2009.
