Nico,
>From an engineering standpoint, the fewer the blades the more efficient the prop.
Theoretically a single blade counterbalanced prop is the most efficient. I
know a couple of folks that have changed from two bladed props on their 180 Skywagons
to three bladed and have been disappointed with the performance.

MT Propeller did a 5 bladed conversion for the 690 and did not get any performance
improvement.
I think there is a STC for the 690 from Dowty Propeller that is a wide cord 3 bladed
prop that did get a performance increase.
The Mr RPM conversion seems to have a low thrust issue with the prop that is approved.
MT has a new STC for the Comanche 400 with the IO-720 engine.

In the photo on their web site, you can see the new design is wider.
