The new installation saves 17 pounds\nper engine and delivers better performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIntercontinental Jet and Hartzell collaborated closely on\nthis project and we are pleased that many MU-2 operators now have an\nopportunity for better performance with a much more economical and convenient\ntime between overhaul with this STC,\u201d said Hartzell President JJ Frigge.\n&#8220;Hartzell&#8217;s scimitar design delivers optimized performance, reduced noise\nsignature and better fuel efficiency.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>IJSC&#8217;s first installation under the new STC was on a MU-2\nowned by Jay Consalvi, a Colorado-based ex-Navy fighter pilot. In addition to\nflying numerous combat missions in F-14 Tomcats and F-18F Super Hornets off the\nU.S.S. Harry Truman, he won the 2017 National Championship Reno Air Races.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The new scimitar design is cool. It looks like it\nmeans business and it&#8217;s ready to go racing,&#8221; Consalvi says. &#8220;It\nstarts quicker and cooler. Smoother and quieter than the previous props. I fly\na lot of long legs at 96% and I get nearly the same cruise speed I had with the\nold props at 100%. And I climb to 280 in 2 minutes less.&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Available through IJSC, the completed kit includes\ninstallation, custom polished and larger aluminum spinner, propeller to engine\nrigging and dynamic balance for $85,000, with trade-in of existing propellers.\nThe lighter weight aluminum hub propellers have an extended 4,000-hour\/six-year\nTBO, whichever occurs first. The previous steel hub propellers had a 3,500-hour\/five-year\nTBO.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Intercontinental Jet Service Corp (IJSC), Tulsa, has obtained a Supplemental Type Certificate for Hartzell Propeller\u2019s scimitar four-blade aluminum prop installations on MU-2 twin-engine aircraft.
