General Aviation in Europe: Elevating European Product Development & Customer Engagement

Date: September 9, 2024 Category: Blog Tags: , , , , , , , , ,

General Aviation in Europe is dynamic and growing, and Hartzell Propeller is proud to support and advance this era with exciting European product development and customer engagement initiatives.

With a focus on the experimental aircraft and light sport aircraft (LSA) popular in the European market, we’re committed to delivering leading-edge solutions tailored to this unique sector.

Upcoming European Aviation Events

Up next on Hartzell’s European agenda is Mondial de l’ULM 2024, held September 13-15 in Blois, France. The international exhibition is the meeting place for microlight aviators of all types. Look for the Hartzell Propeller and WhirlWind Propellers exhibit located at M2 91, Central Zone (M). We invite you to meet our team, get your questions answered, and learn more about our advanced propeller technology for LSA and experimental/homebuilt aircraft.

Additional upcoming events for Hartzell Propeller in Europe include meetings with European Recommended Service Facilities, prop shops, fleet owners, flight schools, aeroclubs, and engine companies, including an ongoing collaboration with Austria’s Rotax Aircraft Engines.

A Look Back at Hartzell’s 2024 European Initiatives

Throughout the past year, Hartzell Propeller executives and technical experts have conducted a number of meetings with European customers, airplane OEMs, engine manufacturers, aeroclubs, associations, and brokers. These expanded product development and customer engagement activities were initiated to better serve our growing European customer base and support Europe’s strong marketplace and the burgeoning number of general aviation aircraft under development.

EBACE & Annual UK Dealer Days

Following meetings at the 2024 European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (EBACE) in Geneva, Hartzell Aviation conducted its inaugural UK Dealer Days, held at the Aviator Hotel overlooking Farnborough Airport. The event drew a notable crowd of UK business owners eager to explore new horizons in the aviation industry.

Hosted by Hartzell Propeller, UK Recommended Service Facilities Brinkley Aerospace, and Proptech, as well as leading UK MRO MCA Aviation, Hartzell’s Dealer Days featured industry leaders and innovators, presenting new business opportunities and product development while fostering connections to better serve present and future UK customers.

The event highlighted the robust support and growing influence of Hartzell Propeller and Hartzell Engine Tech products in the UK market. Hartzell Propeller demonstrated best-in-class propellers for piston and turboprop aircraft, while Hartzell Engine Tech showcased an extensive range of engine accessories for piston and turboprop engines. Presentations by Brinkley Aerospace, Proptech, and MCA underscored the significance of the UK market and general aviation’s expanding influence across Europe.

Highlights from the France Air Expo

In June, Hartzell attended the France Air Expo in Lyon, France, where we met with airplane OEMs, prop shops, associations, engine companies, brokers, flight academies, regional airports, and aeroclubs. We’re optimistic that these meetings and opportunities will lead to future announcements, such as new STCs or new propeller designs.
