Piper M700 FURY cleared in Europe for quieter propeller

16/04/2026

Regulators have approved a seven-blade propeller for the turboprop, improving take-off performance and reducing cabin noise for European operators.

EASA Supplemental Type Certificate approval has been granted for the 7-Blade MT-Propeller on the M700 FURY, with FAA certification expected to follow.

The composite propeller design improves aerodynamic efficiency, delivering stronger performance and enhanced cabin comfort through reduced noise and smoother operation.

Operators benefit from shorter take-off distances, increased climb performance and a quieter cabin environment.

Marc Ouellet, Vice President, Engineering and Manufacturing at Piper Aircraft, says: “Integrating the 7-Blade MT-Propeller into the FURY platform underscores Piper’s commitment to continuous innovation and customer-driven enhancements. This option provides operators with improved takeoff and climb performance while reducing noise levels for both passengers and communities.”

The upgrade is available to European customers through Piper’s regional dealer network.
