D'Shannon Aviation is the headquarters for new and replacement propellers. With more than 40 years of selling props we have the experience to deliver the right propeller for the right application.
A modern update to eliminate obsolete Beech, Flottorp, McCauley Threaded, and Steel Hub Hartzells
The new Super Scimitar from Hartzell is the result of the latest in propeller technology research. Developed using the results of NASA’s Advanced General Aviation Technology Experiments (AGATE) program, the propeller quite simply delivers the “most for the least”.
The “most”, is of course performance. The optimized twist configuration was engineered specifically to improve performance for single engine cowlings. This propeller offers more thrust at a given horsepower in take-off, climb, and cruise than any propeller ever approved for the Bonanza. The “least” refers to noise output, as noise reduction was one of the major objectives of the AGATE program.
The tip design incorporates plan-form and airfoil section changes to reduce tip noise at high power and RPM conditions. It is no secret that propeller diameter reduction in the form of three and four blade propellers reduces noise output. However, the Super Scimitar maintains a healthy 82” diameter, while at the same time producing a lower dB(a) level than current 78” and 80” three blades. This translates into large diameter blade performance combined with a contracted noise signature. The other three blade propellers on the market, designed 30-40 years ago, have been eclipsed. A superior product has evolved with unparalleled technology and performance. Would you invest in anything less?
Climb Performance: a. 16 - 18% Increase in Take-off Thrust over Standard 3 Blade. b. 8 - 10% Increase in Take-off Thrust over Standard 2 Blade.
Cruise Performance 75% power @ 6000 ft.: a. 4% Increase in Cruise Thrust over Standard 3 Blade. b. 6% Increase in Cruise Thrust over Standard 2 Blade.
