Selecting the right aircraft propeller is a decision that impacts every aspect of flight. Only Hartzell carbon fiber composite propellers are Built On Honor to the highest standards, delivering unmatched quality, performance, and support.
Hartzell Structural Carbon Fiber vs. Wood-Core “Composites”
Not all “composite” propellers are alike. When reliability matters most, it’s important to know exactly what you’re flying behind.
Hartzell’s structural carbon fiber composite blades are up to 10X stronger than “natural composites” (wood), enabling thinner, more aerodynamic designs for shorter takeoffs, faster climbs, and increased cruise performance.
Hartzell carbon fiber composite props undergo some of the most demanding aviation certification requirements, including tests that simulate the real-world challenges pilots face.
In over 250 bird strike tests, Hartzell carbon fiber blades consistently outperform the competition.
Tested with a powerful 200,000 ± 10% amp current, Hartzell carbon fiber blades and de-icing systems can withstand a full lightning threat.
With reduced lifecycle costs and an industry-leading warranty through first overhaul, Hartzell’s Top Prop carbon fiber propeller upgrades offer significant long-term value. In fact, they’re certified for unlimited life.
Engineered to enhance the performance of advanced aircraft like the Cirrus SR22, Hartzell’s carbon fiber propellers combine superior strength with aerodynamic efficiency. Flight test comparisons under identical conditions show clear performance gains over wood-core composites.
