Building on acceptance by backcountry flyers of Cessna\nSkywagons, Hartzell Propeller has once again expanded the applicability of its\nubiquitous three-blade aluminum Voyager props. The Voyager, which is popular\nwith bush pilots, was previously approved for other Cessna 180\/182\/185\/206\naircraft powered by the Continental 520 and 550 engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Voyager is now STC approved for Cessna 180 aircraft,\npowered by Continental 470-A (S\/N 41000 and higher) -J, -R, and -S engines.\nThis includes models 180, and models C \u2013 J with standard engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Inspired by customer acceptance since we introduced\nthe Voyager in 2019, we are continuing our efforts to make it available to a\nmuch broader fleet,” said Hartzell Propeller President JJ Frigge. “We\nare also excited to partner with the Recreational Aviation Foundation (RAF) to\noffer its members a $1,000 discount on the regular price of Voyager props from\nnow until the end of 2023.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Improved Performance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The custom-designed Voyager propeller provides premium\nperformance offering the same or better cruise speeds, increased take-off\nacceleration, and an exceptional climb rate. It features swept scimitar\naluminum blades designed for optimal performance, specifically for these\nairplanes. <\/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 propeller, which is being sold as part of Hartzell\u2019s Top Prop\nPerformance Conversions line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hartzell is offering the 86-inch diameter Voyager propeller\nfor $16,561, including polished spinner and all STC documentation. The Voyager\npropeller has a 2,400-hour, six-year TBO, and the longest propeller warranty in\nthe 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 recreational\nairstrips for backcountry access throughout the United States.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Building on acceptance by backcountry flyers of Cessna Skywagons, Hartzell Propeller has once again expanded the applicability of its ubiquitous three-blade aluminum Voyager props.
