Available as\npart of Hartzell Propeller\u2019s Top Prop\u2122 program, the Navigator\u2019s Advanced\nStructural Composite (ASC-II) lightweight blade technology results in an\nincrease in true airspeed of three to seven KTAS, depending on the power\nsetting. The ASC-II blades reduce airframe vibration, which results in a\nsmoother flight and less pilot &amp; passenger fatigue upon arrival at your\ndestination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Offering low inertia, light-weight, longer durability, and\nreduced life cycle costs, the Navigator consists of a unique monocoque\nstructure, with carbon fiber laminates integrated into a co-molded\nstainless-steel shank. The outboard half of the leading edge is protected from\nForeign Object Damage (FOD) with an electroformed nickel-cobalt erosion shield.\nThe carbon fiber Navigator weighs approximately 65 pounds and is approved at a\ndiameter of 82 inches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Better Performance at a Modest Price<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Navigator is a great way to improve legacy Bonanza\nperformance at a modest price,\u201d said Hartzell Propeller President JJ Frigge.\n\u201cThe STC kit, complete with prop, spinner, and STC paperwork, is available from\nprop shops, FBOs, or direct from Hartzell Propeller.\u201d he added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Propeller Time Between Overhaul (TBO) is six years or 2,400\nhours, whichever comes first. With the extended Top Prop warranty, the\npropeller is covered through first overhaul, the longest propeller warranty in\nthe industry. The basic kit is available for $27,870.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Navigator is available with electro-thermal de-ice on\nexisting three-blade 28-volt systems and is also fully compatible with existing\nfluid anti-ice installations from CAV Ice Protection Inc. A new Hartzell S-1-35\nprop governor is an option under the STC as well.<\/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 blended airfoil technology and manufactures them with revolutionary\nmachining centers, robotics and custom resin transfer molding curing stations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hartzell Propeller and sister companies, Hartzell Engine Technologies LLC, Quality Aircraft Accessories, and AWI-AMI (Aerospace Welding Minneapolis, Inc., and Aerospace Manufacturing, Inc.) form the general aviation business unit of Tailwind Technologies Inc.
