EASA Grants Hartzell Engine Tech Alternator Upgrades STC Approval

Electrifying …

The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has granted Hartzell Engine Tech, the Alabama-based powerplant/firewall-forward subsidiary of Hartzell Aviation, STC approval for Plane-Power ALT-FLX alternator upgrades across a wide range of piston-powered fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft. The upgrades were previously approved in the United States by the Federal Aviation Administration.

Hartzell Engine Tech president Keith Bagley stated: “The Plane-Power ALT-FLX alternators are now STC-approved by EASA for a variety of aircraft and provide up to one-hundred-amps in a 12-volt electrical system and up to 150 amps in a 24-volt system. Weights are comparable to replaced alternators and kits provided contain all the brackets and hardware needed to complete the upgrade."

Aircraft covered by EASA's STC include a number of Aviat, Beechcraft, Cessna, Cirrus, Diamond, Extra, Mooney, Piper, and SOCATA airplanes, as well as Robinson helicopters, among others.

Hartzell, the storied American manufacturer of aircraft propeller systems, was reorganized in July 2022 under the auspices of Tailwind Technologies Inc. The emergent entity, Hartzell Aviation, encompasses a growing number of brands to include: Hartzell Propeller, Hartzell Aerospace Welding, and Hartzell Engine Tech.

United under the Hartzell Aviation banner, the trio of historic aerospace concerns has since plied its considerable expertise and experience to the advancement of the General Aviation industry.

Hartzell Aviation’s flagship company, Hartzell Propeller, is a global leader in advanced aircraft propeller design and manufacturing. The company’s air-screws adorn a gamut of aircraft that stretches from Cessna’s 172 to Lockheed’s C-130. The division is headquartered in Piqua, Ohio.

Egan, Minnesota-based Hartzell Aerospace Welding specializes in general aviation aircraft exhaust systems and engine mount repair. The company’ core competencies include certified welding, precision machining, and sheet-metal fabrication. Hartzell Aerospace Welding recently acquired Canadian welding outfit Acorn Welding.

Finally, Hartzell Engine Tech—formerly Hartzell Engine Technologies—offers a product portfolio comprising Janitrol Aero, Fuelcraft, Plane-Power, Sky-Tec, and AeroForce Turbocharger Systems. Subject brands provide engine accessories and heating solutions to the general aviation industry. Based in Montgomery, Alabama, Hartzell Engine Tech enjoys a well-earned reputation for precise engineering, manufacturing, inspection, and certification guarantee quality and control.

The creation of Hartzell Aviation synergized the three organizations’ core competencies to genuinely and lastingly better the safety, profitability, and pleasures of General Aviation.
