Hartzell Announces New King Air Four- and Five-blade Propellers
Propeller technology is moving rapidly forward, and King Air fleets are benefiting.


“We have greatly advanced propeller technology by taking advantage of the aerodynamic effect of blade sweep, the strength of lightweight structural composites and robotic manufacturing technologies for both composite and aluminum blades,” said Hartzell president Joe Brown, as he introduced new propellers for the Textron King Air fleet this week at NBAA 2015. “We can offer across-the-board performance improvements in all phases of flight,” he continued.
