Hartzell Propeller and Blackhawk Group have formed a strategic partnership that will expand the offerings and service network of the latter company. Under the collaboration, Blackhawk Group’s customers will have access to fixed-rate pricing, a more efficient overhaul process, and Hartzell’s service centers across the U.S. and in Europe.
The agreement guarantees overhaul pricing, including parts, pick up, and delivery, as well as lead times and budgeting and forecasting, access to Hartzell network exchanges and rentals, and two-year/2,000-hour warranty coverage. Hartzell’s aircraft preheat systems are also included in the agreement. 
“By combining Hartzell’s proven propeller technologies with the Blackhawk Group’s network of performance centers, we are creating a seamless path for customers to access upgrades, maintenance, and support that maximize performance, reliability, and operational efficiency,” said Hartzell Propeller president J.J. Frigge.
