Hercules Propellers Ltd., CEP’s partner in propeller development, have delivered the first set of pre-production CRPS propellers using 225kW  (112.5kW per propeller) and 2700 RPM as the design basis and with an aircraft speed of 160 kts.

The propellers will be used for display and size/clearance analysis. Detailed design work will shortly commence to generate the technical data and operational criteria needed to upgrade the design for reverse capability both for ground operations and in flight.
