McCauley Propeller Systems today confirmed the first delivery and service entry of its newest C780 propeller for the Beechcraft King Air B300 series, following its installation at Textron Aviation’s Tampa Service Center in Florida. The propeller, which features four aluminum swept blades and a 105-inch diameter, gained FAA approval in July. 

“The new McCauley C780 offers King Air customers increased performance, a quieter cabin, and greater efficiency,” said Heidi McNary, v-p and general manager of Textron Aviation subsidiary McCauley Propeller Systems.
