Hartzell Propeller will deliver its 30,000th replacement propeller during 2023. Working closely with many OEMs, the Top Prop catalogue has over 100 different product offerings on dozens of different aircraft and engine platform combinations.

“The Hartzell Propeller conversion is one of the smartest investments you can make for your aircraft,” says president JJ Frigge. “The Top Prop STC programme makes propeller conversion easy. We are proud of designing, manufacturing, flying and supporting 30,000 props in the past 30 years.”

Benefits include shorter take off distances, lower noise levels, better ground clearance, reduced tip erosion, increased climb rates, increased cruise speeds and smoother operation.
