PROFESSOR
GINO PASCALE FLIES THE VARIABLE PITCH GT-PROPELLER
Professor
Pascale personally tested the new GT- prop at TECNAM company’s
main facility and made a very interesting flight report using
the low inertia two blade electrically controlled prop installed
on P-2002 SIERRA . Prop type tested was : GT-2-V-12-173-SRTC,
electrically controlled, two blade tractor configuration, weighing
about 10 KGs, with blades made of composite sheathed mixed wood
types.
PROFESSOR
PASCALE REPORTED : The prop gave the best all-round performance
on the Rotax 912-S powered SIERRA . The engine ran very smoothly
and the prop produced very low noise even at max rpm during
take off and climb, both inside and outside the cabin. The fuel
burn was optimized . The climb rate was very impressive without
any sacrifice to the cruise speed. All flight phases were found
to be more comfortable and take off distance was minimised.
