POWERPLANT
SYSTEM
Our Quantum turboprop
powerplant system (engine & propeller) was
designed for the BD-5 because of the inherent reliability and economy
of operation that this turbine is noted for. This is a constant speed,
torque
variable turboshaft engine based on Solar T-62 series components.
Mechanical actuation of the Quantum III allows the instantaneous pitch
control required for in flight power management.
