Powering the Future of Aviation
With a history dating back to the Wright Brothers, Hartzell has been innovating and improving general aviation with our products for over a century. As one of the most trusted names in aviation, we’re proud to bring together industry-leading general aviation manufacturers, suppliers, and service providers under one unified brand: Hartzell Aviation.
“The independent operating companies and products under the Hartzell Aviation banner will carry on a strong and rich tradition, with a history dating back to the Wright Brothers when Orville encouraged his neighbor Robert N. Hartzell to begin manufacturing airplane propellers,” said James W. Brown III.
Joseph W. Brown added, “This newly christened organization, with its iconic Hartzell companies and brand names, is guided by the overriding principle of Built on Honor, which reflects our commitment to quality, performance, and support in everything we do.”
