Former US Unlimited Aerobatic Champion Michael Goulian used an experimental development version of this propeller on his Extra 330SC during the 2009 airshow campaign<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Piqua, Ohio \u2013 April 9, 2010\u2026.\u00a0Hartzell Propeller Inc. has developed an advanced structural composite propeller for aerobatic aircraft using its proprietary ASC-II technology.\u00a0The new Claw 2.0\u2122 propeller has recently achieved FAA type certification, meeting all of the propeller certification requirements.\u00a0The original \u2018Claw\u2019 and the new Claw 2.0\u2122 are the only certified advanced composite propellers available for aerobatic use. The propeller has not yet been STC\u2019d on the aircraft; however Hartzell is making the Claw 2.0\u2122 propeller available now for Extra 300 \/ 330 series aircraft flying in the Experimental category.<\/p>\n Former US Unlimited Aerobatic Champion Michael Goulian used an experimental development version of this propeller on his Extra 330SC during the 2009 airshow campaign, for which he was recognized with EAA\u2019s Bill Barber Award for Airshow Showmanship.\u00a0He was so pleased with the new propeller\u2019s performance that he will continue using it during the 2010 air show season.<\/p>\n He said, \u201cI couldn\u2019t be happier with my new Hartzell ASC-II Claw 2.0\u2122 prop.\u00a0It has displayed all the characteristics that made the original Hartzell \u2018Claw\u2019 a market leader, but from a performance standpoint, it has more pulling power at the low end.\u00a0It also has a more modern look. It is a natural and worthy stablemate to the \u2018Claw\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAs someone who makes a living flying a high performance aircraft, I need my prop to be safe and reliable 100% of the time.\u00a0Hartzell was always my choice, and with this new prop they haven\u2019t let me down.\u201d<\/p>\n This latest model from Hartzell comprises a unique lamination of carbon fiber and Kevlar\u2122, with an electroformed nickel leading edge erosion shield.\u00a0The composite structure is co-molded on an integral stainless steel shank that accommodates bolt-on counterweights needed for aerobatics.<\/p>\n The advantage of installing a certified propeller on \u201cExperimental\u201d and homebuilt aircraft is that it has been rigorously tested according to FAA standards, and users can be sure the propeller will withstand all flying conditions.\u00a0The Claw 2.0\u2122 has passed all required certification tests including bird strike, lightning strike and fatigue strength.\u00a0It has also passed a vibration stress test over the entire aerobatic envelope on Goulian\u2019s Extra 330SC.<\/p>\n Mike Disbrow, Hartzell\u2019s senior VP marketing and customer services, said, \u201cThe new ASC-II Claw 2.0\u2122 prop is the perfect addition for \u201cexperimental\u201d pilots who like to push the limits of their aircraft\u2019s capabilities safely.\u00a0Michael Goulian has shown that this prop can perform under even the most extreme conditions.\u201d<\/p>\n Hartzell\u2019s kit for the Extra 300 \/ 330s includes the 3-blade propeller and a carbon composite spinner at a special introductory price of $21,900, with a three-year\/ 1,000-hour warranty and 6-year\/ 1,000-hour TBO.<\/p>\n Hartzell Propeller Inc. is widely recognized as the leader in advanced propeller design and manufacturing technology. The company has recently developed the next generation of propeller designs based upon innovative \u201cblended airfoil\u201d technology and is manufacturing these blades on revolutionary machining centers to provide mission-optimized performance for its customers. Hartzell traces its beginnings in 1917 to a business relationship with Orville Wright, and was founded on the principal of Built on Honor – a tradition that continues today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" New Claw 2.0\u2122 propeller achieves FAA type certification, meeting all propeller certification requirements.
