Hartzell Propeller’s new Frontier prop is available for Cessna 180 Skywagons following the FAA approval of the company’s supplemental type certificate for the upgrade. The 88-inch, all-aluminum propeller is designed to boost performance.

Aimed at Skywagon models A through J, powered by Continental O-470 engines, the Frontier is part of Hartzell’s growing Top Prop lineup and features two scimitar-style blades meant to enhance the aircraft’s style and ramp appeal in addition to climb speeds.
