Fokker 50 Props

Does anyone know why the Fokker 50 has Dowty props which are curved (I think they have a specific name which I cannot recall)? What are the advantages of such a design?

What are the other advantages/disadvantages of having a 6 bladed prop as opposed to a 4 bladed prop (besides the advantage of increased thrust)?

Thanks in advance
