Hartzell Readies for Comprehensive NBAA-BACE Showing

Companies Keeping Good Company

Hartzell Propeller—the storied, Piqua, Ohio-based manufacturer of composite and aluminum aircraft propellers, propeller spinners, governors, and ice-protection systems—will grace the upcoming 2023 National Business Aviation Association Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (NBAA-BACE) with its latest carbon-fiber propeller systems.

Certified for unlimited life, Hartzell's carbon-fiber propeller blades feature stainless-steel wedge-retention and electroformed nickel-cobalt leading-edges.

NBAA-BACE 2023 spans 17-19 October and will be held in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Hartzell Propeller will display its composite products, including advanced technology turboprop propellers, at Booth C7516 in the event’s Central Hall.

Hartzell Propeller president J.J. Frigge stated: “Hartzell’s presence at NBAA-BACE showcases the company’s deep investments in developing advanced carbon-fiber propellers, which all deliver cutting-edge improvements in performance, efficiency, and value. Our latest propeller designs incorporate the most advanced materials and manufacturing techniques available anywhere in the world in order to achieve optimal aircraft performance.”

Mr. Frigge added: “We collaborate closely with aircraft manufacturers and modifiers, who are displaying at NBAA-BACE, to optimize propeller design for each specific aircraft. We are proud to showcase these innovative investments in manufacturing technology and aerodynamics at 2023 NBAA-BACE.”

NBAA-BACE 2023 will see Hartzell Propeller commemorate the 60th anniversary of Pratt & Whitney’s introduction of its incomparably-reliable, insuperably-popular PT6 series reverse-flow, free-turbine engines. Since 1920, Pratt & Whitney engines have logged billions of flight-hours—many behind Hartzell propellers.  

Raisbeck Engineering’s NBAA-EBACE 2023 display will showcase a Hartzell-manufactured, next-generation, five-blade, carbon-fiber, swept propeller designed specifically for Beechcraft’s ubiquitous King Air 250 model twin-turboprop business aircraft. Raisbeck, which will display at Booth C7534, holds an STC for five-blade, structural-composite propeller upgrades on Beechcraft’s King Air 350 series aircraft.

Hartzell Propeller will also join Pilatus Aircraft in celebrating the two-thousandth delivery of the Swiss plane-maker’s popular PC-12 single-engine turboprop business/utility aircraft—the entirety of which leave the company’s Stans, Switzerland factory equipped with Hartzell propellers.

French airframer Daher, too, factory-installs Hartzell’s five-blade composite propellers on its Kodiak 900 single-engine turboprop utility aircraft. Hartzell’s five-blade composite propeller has been approved, also, for new and retrofitted Kodiak 100 aircraft. Moreover, Daher flies Hartzell’s five-blade swept propellers across its entire line of TBM-900 series single-engine turboprop business aircraft.

Perennially-popular American general aviation marque Piper Aircraft appoints the whole of its newly-built M-Class single-engine turboprop business aircraft with Hartzell structural-composite propellers.

St. Paul, Minnesota aircraft modifier Wipaire is currently in the late stages of securing an STC authorizing installation of Hartzell’s four-blade carbon-fiber propeller on Cessna’s 208 Caravan turboprops.

Finally, Waco, Texas-based Blackhawk Aerospace holds an STC germane to the inclusion of Hartzell’s five-blade, structural-composite propellers in the company’s King Air 300 engine and propeller upgrade program.

Hartzell Propeller, the flagship company of parent-entity Hartzell Aviation, is a global leader in advanced aircraft propeller design and manufacturing. The company’s air-screws adorn a gamut of aircraft spanning Cessna’s venerable 172 to Lockheed’s mighty C-130.
