Hartzell Propeller—the American manufacturer of composite and aluminum aircraft propellers, propeller spinners, governors, and ice-protection systems, put forth an ambitious and extensive showing at EAA’s AirVenture 2023.
The storied, Piqua, Ohio-based aviation marque graced Oshkosh with a lavish array of airplanes, propellers, airshow pilots, special deals for backcountry flyers, and even Warbird tram tours.
Hartzell Propeller’s outdoor exhibit at Booth 296-297 showcased numerous forward-thinking props featuring bleeding-edge material and manufacturing technologies. The booth lineup included: Flight Chops’ Van’s RV-14 with 3-blade Explorer prop; the Recreational Aviation Foundation’s Cessna 185 with 3-blade Voyager prop; two-blade Trailblazer propellers; five-blade TBM propellers; five-blade Kodiak propellers; and two-blade blended airfoils.
Hartzell five-blade carbon-fiber propellers were exhibited by Blackhawk Aerospace, Epic Aircraft, and MagniX. Diamond Aircraft displayed a DA40-NG aircraft fitted with Hartzell’s three-blade carbon-fiber Polaris propeller. Wipaire exhibited a Wipaire Cessna Caravan sporting Hartzell’s four-blade carbon-fiber Yukon propeller.
The entirety of the Kodiak and TBM family aircraft brought to Oshkosh by French aircraft manufacturer Daher featured five-blade carbon-fiber Hartzell propellers, while OEMs Pilatus Business Aircraft and Piper Aircraft displayed specimens of their respective turboprop models decked-out in Hartzell five-blade propellers.
In addition, Aviat Aircraft, American Champion Aircraft, CubCrafters, and Van’s Aircraft displayed aircraft fitted with Hartzell’s two-blade carbon-fiber Trailblazer propellers.
Hartzell’s high-performance propellers proved the first choice of Michael Goulian, Kevin Coleman, Greg Koontz, Matt Younkin, Bill Stein, Jim Peitz, Ken Rieder, and several additional iconic aerobatic pilots who thrilled AirVenture 2023 crowds with dazzling displays of masterful stick-and-rudder work.
AirVenture 2023 saw Hartzell Propeller further its relationship with the Recreational Aviation Foundation (RAF) via the provision of $1,000 discounts on all new Hartzell backcountry propellers sold to RAF members over the duration of the weeklong event. What’s more, for each propeller sold to an RAF member, Hartzell Propeller donated $250 to the organization.
Finally, to honor the aircraft and military veteran pilots by which freedom has been resolutely defended throughout the 20th and 21st Centuries, Hartzell Propeller sponsored the ground-tram tours by which AirVenture attendees were conveyed to the event’s central Warbirds in Review exhibit and familiarized with the rare-and-wondrous array of WWII, Korean, and Vietnam Era aircraft therein.
