Hartzell winds up 100th anniversary year

During the company's 100th anniversary year, Hartzell Propeller made progress in a number of important areasĀ and continued to expand its product offerings. The company now supplies propellers for nearly 50 OEMs, ranging from two-blade to six-blade carbon fiber or aerospace grade aluminum propeller systems.

The company again served as the propeller technical partner for the Red Bull Air Race Championship and received propeller installation approvals for Super Cubs, Cessnas, Pipers, Supervans, Airvans, and King Airs. On the heels of a multiyear, multimillion-dollar investment in advanced aerodynamics and manufacturing techniques using state-of-the-art composite and aerospace grade materials, the company today enters its second century of propeller making.

With more than 500,000 propellers produced and shipped over the past century, Hartzell Propeller continues as the industry leader in propeller design, manufacturing and support. During the 2017 calendar year, Hartzell delivered approximately 3,000 propellers to aviators all across the world.

Beginning its second century, Hartzell Propeller is the global leader in advanced technology aircraft propeller design and manufacturing for business, commercial and government customers. The company designs next generation propellers with innovative "blended airfoil" technology and manufactures them with revolutionary machining centers, robotics and custom resin transfer molding curing stations.

With ASC-II composite technology, Hartzell delivers optimal performance, strength and durability with carbon fiber blades. Hartzell Propeller and its sister company, Hartzell Engine Technologies LLC, form the general aviation business unit of Tailwind Technologies Inc.
