Mahindra Aerospace has chosen Hartzell Propeller‘s three-blade 84-inch diameter aluminum propeller for its Airvan 10 single engine turbine-powered utility aircraft, certified earlier this year.
Hartzell’s lightweight hub turbine propeller is constant speed, feathering, reversing and optimized for an improved climb rate, according to Hartzell officials.
Developed as a new FAR Part 23 certified aircraft, the Airvan 10 retains the piston-powered Airvan 8’s aerodynamic design and shares many of its production parts. More than 240 Airvan 8 aircraft are in operation throughout the world, pulled through the air by props from Hartzell Propeller.
