Propeller Upgrade

Recommended Posts

How many Bravo's were delivered? Is there not enought market for Hartzell to create a new propeller or certify one of their existing ones for the Bravo? Seems to me most of the Acclaim's performance came from the propeller and a new cowling design. Any thoughts? Below is a link to a Socata TB-21 propeller, I don't see why it shouldn't work on Bravo, of course, they would need to create a specific one for Bravo, 76inches instead of 78inches

Someone else could pin the number down more accurately than I can.  The number is around 300 less the ones that have left the country and the ones that have crashed.  MT has a 4 blade available but it does not help much with speed.  It is lighter 12lbs so the flare on landing might be less effort.

You might consider simply calling Hartzell to see if they would be interested in such an option!  They may have already thought of it, but didn't have any/enough customer interest, or an airplane to use for the testing required to support an STC.  Perhaps you could work a deal...
