Swept-Tip Hartzell structural composite propellers

Hartzell Propeller Inc. has received supplemental type certificate approval from the Federal Aviation Administration for installation of the company’s new Swept-Tip Trailblazer propellers on all Aviat Husky utility aircraft.

The two-blade, 80-inch diameter next-generation advanced structural composite Hartzell Trailblazer swept-tip prop can now replace Hartzell’s aluminum constant-speed propeller which comes standard on the latest Husky models.

Better climb, takeoff performance
The new Trailblazer provides more than a 10 percent increase in climb performance compared to the original 76-inch aluminum propeller, and a 12 percent reduction in takeoff distance at max gross weight.

The carbon-fiber propeller complies with the latest FAR 36 noise restrictions on the Husky at the maximum rating of 2,700 RPM. The Trailblazer’s ability to operate at maximum RPM provides the Aviat Husky the optimum takeoff and climb performance in a globally noise compliant, eco-friendly propeller package.
