Abstract
The paper will review operating experience of the present day composite bladed propellers which have been in service for over 10 years. Topics will include how the composite blade has coped with the commuter environment, how effective is electronic control and how service life is being developed.
Prospects for future developments are addressed as the commuter market moves forward to the high speed turboprop and is challenged by the Regional Jet.
