Metroliner Propeller upgrades?
Hi all
I read somewhere that way back in 2009 Regional express airlines were looking at new composite 5 bladed propellers for the metro's and just awaiting certification. These would reduce cabin noise to around 88 db(A) and reduce vibration. Did this ever happen? Been trolling the web for the article but can't find it anywhere.

the only reason for this is that mfr's of the oem props aren't supporting a lot of the tpe-331 airframes. one good thing is the prophubs can be disassembled in the field to replace a blade
