The cowl is reattached, the airframe cleaned up and
prepared for its owner (Fig. 16). In approximately 14

climb, take-off distance) has improved 20% to 100%.
Standing on the ramp, it is easy to spot a JetPROP
DLX (Fig 17). In addition to the four blade propeller,
the cowl has been elongated 17 inches and exhaust stacks
have been added to help the Pratt & Whitney's PT6A
turbine engine breathe.
After customer briefing and checkout, a satisfied
