The basic 580 configuration turns Aeroproducts A6441 propellers; the 580A configuration takes other propellers 13 feet 6 inches across. The certificate gives a maximum take-off weight of 53,200 lb, or 24,131 kg, raised to 54,600 lb or 58,156 lb with further modifications. The supplemental certificate gives no dimensions, so this page has no drawing.
