Subject: | Turbo Commander 777? |
This is an interesting link to a company that wanted to put Walter 601 engines
on the Commander, pair it with a 5-blade MT prop. Site hasn't been updated since
2000, so probly not much came of it.
Anyone know naything more about this project? Also, what are those winglets? Are
they proprietary or some alternative winglet to the normal ones you see?

Also, has there ever been any talk of STCing the MT 5-blade prop for the Turbo
Commanders? The MU-2 has that option and it's the same engine..

Adam,
One of a long line up of 680 or 690 series Commander re-engine ideas that never
got off the ground, at least in a figurative sense.
The original turbine match up was PT-6 engines on the 680FL airframe. The specific
range was terrible; a switch to TPE-331 series was made.
Don't know if the fuel specifics for the Walters are better than the typical PT-6.
If they're not, there might be too much of a sacrifice on range.
