Aeroscan Releases the Next
Evolution in its Aircraft Propeller
Blade Measuring System
Aeroscan, a Palm Beach Aircraft Propeller company,
is the worldwide leader in aircraft propeller blade
measurement systems. The company recently an-
nounced a major evolution of its already popular tool,
the Aeroscan M5. The latest version of the M5 is
now a fully-automated system, employing state of
the art laser sensor technology. The Aeroscan M5
measures the five dimensions of a propeller’s airfoil,
at each required station, in one scan.
“This evolution is a giant leap in blade measur-
ing technology for the Aeroscan M5,” said Robert
O’Neill, Senior Developer and designer. “This new
technology provides greatly improved accuracy
when compared with previous versions and manual
measurement methods. Additionally, the Aeroscan
M5 now offers greater repeatability to provide blade
to blade accuracy. The new version,” he continued,
“was developed under the direction of our parent
company ‘Palm Beach Aircraft Propeller, Inc.,’ and
the resulting design has exceeded our expectations.
Many software features have been added based on
