Are the wooden construction essential to the new blade design? What are the Beechcraft Bonanza props made of?
(As a complete layman, not even a pilot, I love the sound profile of the proposed props)
- buildsjets 4y agoNormally, the prop on a Bonanza is made of aluminum. Based on observation of prior incidents, I would expect no or negligible damage to an aluminum propeller in the same circumstance. However, even if no external damage is seen, some engine manufacturers (and insurers) require a complete engine teardown and inspection in the event the propeller contacts an object while the engine is running.
