Comparison of 3-Bladed M.T. vs. 2-Bladed McCauley Props

3-Blade versus 2-Blade Propellers FLIGHT TESTS:  Performed on 25 January 2002 in Nashville, TN
Comparison of 3-bladed vs 2-bladed propellers on Normal Aspirated 1968 Cessna 337, N2636S

Configuration:  Full fuel tanks, 2 passengers, and baggage for both flights.

First flight = 3 bladed props
Second flight = 2 bladed props

Pilot: Steve Lloyd
Tests Results Recorded by Owen Bell

RESULTS:
3 Bladed M.T. Props showed significant advantages vs 2 Bladed McCauley Props

Noise Reduction at the same power settings
  • 1 Decibel less noise during Taxi
  • 3 Decibel less noise during Climb
  • 4-5 Decibel less noise during cruise at 6500 ft

Performance improvements at the same power settings
  • ~3 seconds less ground roll on take off run
  • Propeller Synchronization much easier to maintain during climb and cruise
  • Rate of climb = no significant change
  • Cruise speed = no significant change

Weight reduction
  • 60 lbs lighter (30 lbs each prop)

Time between Propeller overhauls
  • Significantly longer (thus reducing the hourly operating costs)
  • 6 years or 2000 hours vs 5 years and 1500 hours

Appearance
  • Upgraded, modern, and stately

In case of propeller strike
  • Increased safety and less potential damage
  • Significantly less likely to bend prop flange or break crankshaft

Summary: 3-Bladed M.T. Propellers were flight tested and compared to 2-Bladed McCauley Propellers and found to significantly reduce weight, noise, and ground roll time to take-off. There was no significant change found in rate of climb or cruise speed. Overhauls are needed less frequently (every 6 years/2000 hrs vs 5 years/1500 hrs) thereby reducing overall operating costs. In addition, the 3-Bladed props are less prone to bend or breakage in case of propeller strike therefore increasing safety and decreasing potential other damage.
