Piper Meridian with X-Range upgrade
The Blackhawk Group has been chosen by MT-Propeller as the exclusive Americas STC distributor for the X-Range upgrade package on the Piper Meridian.

Phoenix-based aircraft modification provider Blackhawk Group has been named as the exclusive distributor in North and South America for the engine/propeller replacement supplemental type certificate on the Piper Meridian turboprop single.

Developed by MT-Propeller, the “X-Range” upgrade replaces the factory-installed Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-42A engine with the lighter PT6A-135A and MT’s five-blade composite MTC-27 Quiet Fan Jet propeller. It also includes a new exhaust system along with improved airbox components, engine mounting hardware, and brackets for the engine power control interface.
