McCauley Propeller Systems, a division of Textron Aviation Inc., announced on July 20, 2025, that its C780 propeller is now standard for all new commercial customers of the Beechcraft King Air 360. Previously an optional factory installation, the first King Air 360 equipped with this propeller recently rolled out of production.
Jason Hull, vice president and general manager, McCauley Propeller Systems, stated that being featured on the factory line of the legendary Beechcraft King Air 360 underscores the company's commitment to excellence. The C780 offers a sophisticated and durable design that aligns with the versatility of the King Air turboprops.
The C780 propeller, which entered service in 2023, features a lightweight scimitar blade design with four aluminum swept blades and a 105-inch diameter. It achieved FAA certification in 2023, EASA certification in 2024, and ANAC certification in Brazil, providing performance benefits to King Air B300 owners and operators.
