| The high static thrust of the four-blade propeller coupled
with the flat-rated 900 hp. engine gives the airplane great takeoff and
climb performance. The aircraft will cruise at an estimated 38 kts
faster than the OEM version. Power response is unmatched by any other
turbine.
The conversion will accept either the Honeywell TPE331-10
or -12 engines.

The Hartzell 110" four-blade, reversible, full-feathering
propeller is designed around takeoff and climb performance, which greatly
improves the Caravans performance under marginal conditions.
The cockpit and systems are kept as close to the OEM design
as possible for a minimal amount of differences training.
Electrical system bus layout and protection are identical
to the OEM, but with minor improvements to the alternator circuitry. The
electrical junction box is replaced with a new j-box that not only retains
the original functions, but also incorporates the alternator control unit
(ACU), the generator control unit (GCU), the start function control module
(FCM), and all alternator circuitry.

OEM Equipment remove


Junction Box
The engine start panel closely resembles the OEM except
that switches are renamed and located for Honeywell engine operation.
New engine instruments for torque, EGT, RPM, and fuel pressure are provided
with the kit. The torque gauge utilizes a transducer rather than a wet
torque system and we have added a fuel pressure gauge.


All conversions come with our own parallel/series start
system that starts the engine in 25 seconds and 100°C cooler. The
aircraft can be configured with an optional Single Red Line/Torque-Temp
Limiter control system for easy one touch starting.
Two new 31Ah Concorde
RG390 sealed 24V batteries or two 28 Ah Gill G-639 batteries are located essentially where the OEM 82 lb.
battery was installed. They operate in parallel except during starting.
The fuel system is the same as the OEM Caravan, except that
the motive flow portion of the fuel system has been removed. The system
does not require a continuous running boost pump.
The engine has an auto and continuous ignition system as
a safety precaution to re-light the engine immediately in the event of
a flameout.
The airspeed limits, c.g. envelope, and flaps limits
do not change. |
