- provides a general performance improvement (8% take-off & climb, 4-5 kts cruise)

- has no propeller speed restrictions on ground while operating in low idle

- has more ground clearance resulting in fewer FODs

- has lower ITTs during start-up for less engine wear

- provides significant cabin noise and vibration reduction

- provides maximum durability and reliability and is suitable for all weather operation

- has an unbeatable aesthetic ramp appeal

- has no life limitation

- has FOD repairable blades

- has the best weight to price ratio in the industry
