Falcon Series for Rotax Engines
The Falcon series is Hartzell’s next-generation carbon fiber propeller lineup designed specifically for light sport aircraft (LSA) powered by Rotax aircraft engines.
With a continued investment in LSA propeller design, Hartzell is bringing high-performance, purpose-built propellers to modern sport pilots.
The first in the new Falcon series, the Kestrel is a three-blade, carbon fiber, constant-speed propeller custom-engineered to optimize Rotax 915 and 916 aircraft engine performance.
First featured on the STOL CubCrafters Carbon Cub UL, the Kestrel offers a proven upgrade from fixed or ground-adjustable propellers, unlocking greater performance and efficiency for light sport aircraft.
The Kestrel propeller has received ASTM approval, with FAA certification expected later this year.

“Hartzell’s Kestrel propeller is a game-changer for the Carbon Cub UL. It delivers superior handling, improved takeoff and climb performance, and a 3-4 knot increase in cruise speed compared to other propellers—all while maintaining a lightweight design. Plus, it looks fantastic on the aircraft.”
