Grob G-850 Strato 2C

The Grob Strato 2C was a German experimental high altitude research aircraft. Powered by two turbocharged piston engines and featuring an extremely long span wing of composite construction, one aircraft was built in the 1990s, but was abandoned despite setting a world altitude record for piston engined aircraft on its last flight.

Does this aircraft hold the world record for worlds largest diameter propellors.? Wikipedia references list the props as 5-blade19ft-8in driven by the 300kw recips. These are larger than the Convair B-36 3-blade props of 19ft dia. driven by 3000kw R4360s.
