Pilots

At Hartzell, we understand the needs of pilots. We’ve been working with pilots like you to design and manufacture aircraft propellers since 1917, when we collaborated with Orville Wright to create the first Hartzell propeller. Since then, we have continued to work closely with pilots to produce and manufacture propellers. We know that you require exceptional performance and reliability from a manufacturer you can trust, and that’s what we deliver. When you choose Hartzell propellers, your aircraft will achieve enhanced performance benefits, including shorter take-off distance, lower noise levels, better ground clearance, reduced tip erosion, greater climb rate, better cruise speed, and smoother operation.

Our talented staff of mechanical, aerodynamic, and structural engineers have decades of experience in the aerospace community. We will work closely with you to understand your requirements through detailed design specifications that define the mission profile and performance objectives of your aircraft. Our engineers then use this information to optimize your design and achieve the best possible solution. Whether you are a kitbuilder, modifier, traditional aircraft owner, or an enthusiast, we have a broad range of product options to fit your unique needs.
