The Work of an Approved Propeller Repair Agency

Hartzell propeller repair

An approved propeller repair agency has to be able to work in a number of materials. Hartzell Propeller, Inc., for example, designs, develops, tests, manufactures, and supports both aluminium and composite propellers for aircraft piston engines and turboprops worldwide. Historically wood, Hartzell today manufactures aircraft propellers and spinners from spun aluminium or aerospace composites.

Metal Propeller Repair should always be done in accordance with latest techniques and best industry practices as recommended by the manufacturer to their network of Hartzell agency technicians. This is due to the critical effects of surface injury and subsequent repair on the fatigue of propeller blades. There is in the UK, for example, only one company relly qualified to do this.
