The systems consist of carbon fiber blades with electroformed nickel leading edge erosion shields, CNC machined aerospace grade aluminum hub and a composite spinner assembly. The HRT Series propellers have been designed for operation in the rain and snow and are perfectly suited for operations off unimproved airstrips.<\/p><p>The advanced blade shapes of the HRT Series are possible due to advanced carbon composite structure manufacturing techniques developed by Whirl Wind. This cutting edge process involves overlaying the thermoset carbon fiber composites over a high density foam core. This new technology has yielded a thinner yet very strong blade. The slightly broader swept tip blade plan form airfoil design has been designed for optimized blade loading on high speed platforms.<\/p><p>Beta tested at the 2016 and 2017 Reno Air Races, these exciting new Whirl Wind propeller systems have raised the bar of performance in our industry.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/m.whirlwindaviation.com\/props\/HRTseries-3_Blade.asp\"><strong>Also available in 3 blade configurations.<\/strong><\/a><\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-regular\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Propeller:<\/td><td><strong>72HRT<\/strong> \/ <strong>74HRT<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>77HRT<\/strong><\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Engine Type:<\/td><td>(I)O-320 9.6:1 Max<br>(I)O-340 9.6:1 Max<br>(I)O-360 9.6:1 Max<br>(I)O-370\/375 CW Crank 9.6:1 Max<br>(I)0-370\/375 No CW Crank&nbsp;NOT SUPPORTED<br>(I)O-390 9.6:1 Max<\/td><td>(I)O-540 9.6:1 Max<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Other<br>Limitations:<\/td><td>P-Mags must use jumper wire<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Engine HP:<\/td><td>160-180 hp<\/td><td>260-280 hp<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Max RPM:<\/td><td>2700&nbsp;RPM<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Number of<br>Blades:<\/td><td>2<\/td><td>2<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Diameter:<\/td><td>72&#8243; (182.9&nbsp;cm) \/ 74&#8243; (188.0&nbsp;cm)<\/td><td>77&#8243; (196.0&nbsp;cm)<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>System<br>Weight:<\/td><td>42&nbsp;lbs (19.1&nbsp;kg)<br>including spinner<\/td><td>43&nbsp;lbs (19.5&nbsp;kg)<br>including spinner<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Tear Down<br>Inspection:<\/td><td>650&nbsp;hours or 6&nbsp;years<\/td><td>800&nbsp;hours or 6&nbsp;years<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Control:<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/whirlwindpropellers.com\/aircraft\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Jihostroj-Governor-Drawing.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jihostroj P-920-028\/A<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Standard<br>Finish:<\/td><td>White with Red Tips or Black with White Tips*Custom Colors Subject to Additional Charge<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Spinner:<\/td><td>Composite 13&#8243; or 15&#8243;<br>Other options available<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Installation<br>&amp; Operation<br>Manual:<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/whirlwindpropellers.com\/aircraft\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/WWA_74HRTManual_Rev2017-1.pdf\" data-type=\"URL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><br>Manual PDF<\/a><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Spinner\/Cowl<br>Fit Drawing:<\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/whirlwindpropellers.com\/aircraft\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Whirl-Wind-74HRT-77HRT-Spinner-Options-102017.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><br>Spinner PDF<\/a><\/td><td><a href=\"https:\/\/whirlwindpropellers.com\/aircraft\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Whirl-Wind-74HRT-77HRT-Spinner-Options-102017.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><br>\u00a0Spinner PDF<\/a><\/td><td><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/m.whirlwindaviation.com\/pdf\/Whirl%20Wind%20400%20Rocket%20Spinner%20Options%20092412.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"><br><\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure><p><strong>Unit Price:<\/strong>&nbsp;Call for pricing (72HRT), Call for pricing (74HRT), Call for pricing (77HRT)<\/p><p>Price includes propeller, spinner and all hardware for installationAdditional Costs:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Jihostroj P-920-028\/A Governor&nbsp;&#8211; Call for quote<\/li><li>Non-standard blade paint scheme with customer colors &#8211; Call for quote<\/li><li>Shipping &#8211; Call<\/li><\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maximum Performance&nbsp;\u2022 Lightest Weight \u2022 Best QualityQuiet and Smooth Operation \u2022 Complete Propeller &amp; Spinner Package \u2022&nbsp;Competitive Price Due to the very wide chord of the HRT blade additional clearance considerations must be made when using the Sam James RV cowl as well as Van\u2019s and aftermarket ram air induction systems.
