The Trailblazer is a swept-tip carbon fiber propeller for experimental aircraft and several certificated planes. It is designed to improve takeoff acceleration and climbing speed, allowing aviators to takeoff more easily from backcountry and bush environments.<\/p>\n<p>The Trailblazer is compatible with numerous certified and amateur built aircraft. The two-bladed version works with most Lycoming 360 and 390 engines, while the three-bladed version is designed for aircraft with higher horsepower. Hartzell is currently pursuing installation approval for the Trailblazer from a variety of aircraft manufacturers.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Like all of Hartzell\u2019s advanced structural composite propellers (ASC-II) the Trailblazer is significantly lighter than an aluminum aircraft propeller, while remaining vastly more durable than a wooden prop. The secret of our advanced composite propellers is a state-of-the-art carbon fiber design, which allows the blades to be thinner and stronger than comparable props. Backcountry fliers, in particular, will appreciate the Trailblazer\u2019s nickel-cobalt leading edge. This field-replaceable feature ensures greater durability for tough takeoffs and landings in the bush.<\/p>\n<p>The Trailblazer represents Hartzell\u2019s commitment to push the boundaries of possibility in aviation. It\u2019s name signifies the pilots that seek out pristine and untamed land as well as Hartzell\u2019s never-ending pursuit of new and better propeller technology. The Hartzell team has been made up of trailblazers since the company produced its first propeller in 1917. Now, we are proud to support trailblazers everywhere in their pursuit of world\u2019s great frontiers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just in time for the Sun \u2018n Fun International Fly-In and Expo, Hartzell is rolling out two and three-blade versions of its Trailblazer advanced composite propeller, a new prop specialized for backcountry flying.
