OSHKOSH, Wis., July 16, 2024 – Hartzell Aviation is gearing up for an impressive display at this year’s EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, which runs from July 22 to July 28. Attendees can look forward to a dynamic lineup featuring innovative planes and propellers, renowned airshow pilots, and exclusive deals for backcountry and kit plane flyers.

Hartzell Propeller also wants to buy your propeller. You can potentially reduce the purchase price of a new or used Hartzell propeller by selling us your existing serviceable propeller of any general aviation make or model. Talk to our experts at the Hartzell Propeller Outdoor Exhibit Booth #296-297.

See Planes and Propellers on Display

While you’re at the Hartzell booth, you can get up close with a variety of planes and propellers on display. We’ll have a series of display aircraft in front of our booth throughout the week, including a Van’s RV-8 and Aviat Husky, as well as several aerobatic planes during our air show pilot meet-and-greet sessions. Plus, you can see 5-blade TBM and PC-12 propellers on display outside the booth.

Inside our booth, check out the 3-blade Raptor propeller, a 2-blade backcountry Trailblazer propeller, and a 2-blade metal RV blended airfoil, plus multiple WhirlWind composite propellers for experimental aircraft. We’ll also have two cutaway propeller displays to give you a clear look at the materials and inner workings of our propellers and governors.

In addition, there will be a special Top Prop wall where you can touch and hold some of our most popular propeller blades available for STC upgrades, including three metal blades — Blended Airfoil, Scimitar, and Voyager Propeller — and two composites — the Trailblazer and TBM.
