Hartzell has expanded the eligibility of its popular\nthree-blade aluminum Voyager props. The Voyager is now STC approved for the\nlarge fleet of Cessna 180\/182\/185\/206 aircraft, powered by Continental 520 and\n550 engines. The Voyager, which has been well received by bush pilots, was\npreviously approved for Cessna’s A185E\/F Skywagon and AgCarryall aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Inspired by enthusiastic customer acceptance since we\nintroduced the Voyager in 2019, we decided to make it available to a much\nbroader fleet,” said Hartzell Propeller President JJ Frigge. “We are\nalso excited to partner with the Recreational Aviation Foundation (RAF) to\noffer its members a $1,000 discount off the regular price from now until the\nend of 2022.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Improved Performance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The custom-designed Voyager propeller provides premium\nperformance with up to seven knots faster cruise speed, 10 percent better\ntake-off acceleration, an exceptional climb rate, and quieter flight. It\nfeatures swept aluminum blades designed for optimal performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Cessna backcountry adventurers are encouraged to contact\nHartzell Propeller or one of its Recommended Service Facilities to order the\nVoyager. Following STC approval, Hartzell expects to deliver more than 50 additional\nVoyager propellers by the end of the year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Regular pricing for the 86-inch diameter Voyager propeller\nwill be $14,179, including polished spinner and all STC documentation. The new\nscimitar propeller can be reworked down to 84 inches in diameter if needed. The\nVoyager propeller has a 2,400-hour, six-year TBO, and the longest propeller\nwarranty in the business through first overhaul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Commitment to Backcountry Flying <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n “The Voyager is a real tribute to Hartzell Propeller’s\ncommitment to backcountry pilots. It shows that they are paying attention to\nwhat the market is looking for, they hear what we’re saying, and they\nunderstand,” said RAF Chairman John J. McKenna, Jr. “Hartzell really\nhit the nail on the head with this one. I’ve had a number of different\npropellers on my 185, and the Voyager has outperformed them in all quadrants.\nNot to mention, it’s a great looking propeller.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to providing a RAF discount, Hartzell Propeller\nwill make a $250 contribution directly to the RAF organization for every member\nthat buys the Voyager until the end of the year. The RAF is a non-profit\norganization with the mission to preserve, maintain and create public-use\nrecreational airstrips for backcountry access throughout the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hartzell Propeller is the global leader in advanced\ntechnology aircraft propeller design and manufacturing for business, commercial\nand government customers.
