Series Returns To The U.S. In October

The Red Bull Air Race World Championship and Hartzell Propeller will be bring the exciting race series to the United States in October, for championship races in Indianapolis and Las Vegas as the series wraps up its international schedule.  

For the third consecutive year, Hartzell Propeller is the propeller technical partner for the Red Bull Air Race World Championship. Hartzell provides its three-blade structural composite propeller known as "The Claw," carbon fiber composite spinners, and lightweight governors to every competitive Red Bull Air Race team.

"We are excited that participation in the Red Bull Air race highlights our aerobatic technology," said Hartzell President Joe Brown. "The Claw earned its pedigree in high time regional airline service. We took the shank out of the rugged propeller system on the Beechcraft 1900D and put it in a little tiny aerobatic system and the result is a lot of muscle for the exceptional pilots that fly in these races."
 
The penultimate race of the season will be Oct. 1-2 when the Red Bull Air Race premieres at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The season finale happens Oct. 15-16 in Las Vegas, where the 2016 World Champion will be crowned at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
