"Aerobatic flight, especially in a Pitts S1-11B, is addictive. ‘The Claw’ aerobatic propeller by Hartzell provides fantastic hang time at the top and outstanding overall performance. And its Kevlar construction is extremely durable, erosion resistant, and has passed bird and lightning strike tests as part of the certification process."

"High performance aircraft such as the Lancair IV need a prop with airfoils designed for high performance in order to achieve their true potential. We tested extensively on the IV and the Hartzell’s performance could not be beaten. That’s why it’s recommended."

Lance A. Neibauer

"Utility planes require reliable performance for their rugged applications. Since Hartzell props are certified they have been subjected to rigorous fatigue and stress testing not required of experimental props. So you can be assured the constant-speed Hartzell prop will provide the performance needed for primitive short-field work and the durability to take the abuse that comes with it."

"Back-country, cross-country, on floats, or on a trailer, the Glastar and Sportsman define versatility. And a constant-speed Hartzell propeller makes it even more versatile. Unlike fixed-pitch props which force you to choose between a 'climb' or 'cruise' design, a constant-speed prop enables you to optimize both."

"Any time you’re talking about performance you’re talking about a constant-speed prop. The constant-speed Hartzell prop dramatically increases the take-off and climb performance of the RVs – and provides optimum cruise as well. You can’t get both in a fixed-pitch prop."
