Propeller Systems
A leading supplier of all-composite propeller systems, GE's business Dowty Propellers supplies most of the modern generation turboprop engines. As the propeller company with the most all-composite blade experience, all our propeller systems feature advanced aerodynamics for optimized take-off, climb and cruise performance and low noise. The modular control system ensures excellent maintainability and low lifecycle cost. We have a total in-house propeller system capability with an unrivaled reputation for safety and reliability. The 18,500 all-composite blades produced have accumulated more than 30 million propeller flying hours, with lead propellers in excess of 40,000 hours. Our propeller technology is simple and proven, with advanced aerodynamic blade sections, rugged construction, fail-safe electronic control and lightweight design. Designs offer low noise with minimal vibration and the modular configuration and high reliability provide low through life costs. We are committed to a low risk evolutionary process of continuous improvement to provide economic solutions. Facilities in the Americas and the UK support both metal and composite propellers in civil and military markets. Full airworthiness authority and quality accreditations include EASA Part 145, FAR Part 145, EASA 21, subpart J and EASA Part 21 and subpart G. Additionally, as the OE propeller manufacturer, all QA standards imposed by the aircraft manufacturer are met. |
