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.
