The new 112-inch diameter,\nfive-blade Hartzell props with lightweight aluminum hubs incorporate durable\ncarbon fiber structural composite blades with FOD resistant nickel-cobalt\nleading edges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Our latest five-blade technology optimizes performance\nof this versatile aircraft, which performs multiple utility missions around the\nworld,&#8221; said Hartzell Propeller Executive Vice President and General\nManager JJ Frigge. &#8220;Hundreds of these rugged aircraft that are still in\noperation across the globe can now take advantage of the aerodynamic effect of\nblade sweep, the strength of lightweight structural composites, unlimited blade\nlife and robotic manufacturing technologies perfected by Hartzell.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The high-wing CASA 212 is unpressurized with a\nnonretractable undercarriage landing gear. It is ideal for short legs, regional\nairline service and short takeoff and landing applications. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hartzell Propeller is the global leader in advanced\ntechnology aircraft propeller design and manufacturing for business, commercial\nand government customers. The company designs next generation propellers with\ninnovative &#8220;blended airfoil&#8221; technology and manufactures them with\nrevolutionary machining centers, robotics and custom resin transfer molding\ncuring stations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hartzell Propeller and sister companies, Hartzell Engine\nTechnologies LLC, Quality Aircraft Accessories, and AWI-AMI (Aerospace Welding\nMinneapolis, Inc., and Aerospace Manufacturing, Inc.) form the general aviation\nbusiness unit of Tailwind Technologies Inc.
