Dowty Propellers begins delivery of propeller systems for Antonov's AN-132D

Dowty Propellers has started component deliveries for propeller systems that will equip the demonstrator for Antonov’s new AN-132 twin-engine transport aircraft. Based on an agreement signed earlier this year, the twin-engine AN-132D will utilise Dowty Propellers’ R408 propeller systems, which already are in widespread service worldwide. For the AN-132D’s ground and test flights, Dowty Propellers is providing two R408 propeller systems for the Ukrainian aircraft manufacturer’s demonstrator, along with a spare.
