MTV Three-Blade Constant-Speed Propeller
Hydraulic constant-speed · 3-blade · matched to the Rotax 916iS
Hydraulically adjustable MTV propeller sets blade pitch across the full flight envelope — maximum climb at take-off, peak efficiency in cruise, full power to FL150 (15,000 ft / 4,572 m). Standard on the B23-916iS.
Operating Economics
Built for the per-hour budget.
Rotax flexibility on fuel and a long engine TBO substantially lower per-hour operating cost — a hard requirement for flight schools and high-utilisation fleets.
2,000-Hour Engine TBO
Rotax 9-series engines carry a 2,000-hour TBO. Lower amortised engine cost per flight hour for high-utilisation operators and schools.
Safety & Certification
Certified. Standard. Repairable.

High-visibility LED navigation lights, landing lights, and strobes for safe day and night operations.
