Top Prop for Piper Matrix, Mirage
The latest addition to Hartzell Propeller’s Top Prop line-up is its second generation, advanced composite propeller now STC’d and
available for Piper PA46 Matrix and Mirage piston-engine aircraft.
The three-blade propellers offer weight savings, through a combination of carbon fiber and Kevlar blades and its new lightweight aluminum hub. This combination saves nearly
11 pounds on the nose versus Hartzell’s first generation advanced composite propeller that is currently standard on these aircraft.
This is Hartzell’s first certification for the ASC-II approved for flight into known ice (FIKI) with its electrothermal de-ice system installed.
Price: $24,000.

Hartzell Top Prop certified for C-185s
Operators of Cessna A185E and A185F Skywagon aircraft can now achieve improved takeoff performance with Hartzell’s three-blade metal props featuring longer wide chord blades.
Hartzell’s STC provides two new Top Prop options, above its 80-inch diameter offering. At either 84-inch or 86-inch diameters, the new propellers, operated at 2,700 rpm, reduce acceleration-to-50-knots times by a measured 8.2% over stock 80-inch propellers operated at 2,850 rpm. Hartzell officials say they believe this is especially useful for float and bush operations.
List price is $9,750 for either diameter.
