Love seeing American manufacturing doing what we do best. Working hard, making money and supporting families!
soy tecnico de helices y este programa es muy interesante asi aprendemos mas😊😊
Great video flitetest. Being an FAA A&P Tech (helicopters), I really appreciated the connection of today's hobbyist to real world employment. We need more young people to take an interest in the field. Keep up the great videos!
Great video guys! Always nice to see a company as dedicated to safety and testing as this one. A real plus to see a company that keeps highly educated and experienced employees working!
As a certified airframe and powerplant technician I found this video fascinating. I also am certified for NDT inspection. Neat stuff!
Awesome video, super glad to see all this awesome new GA content. Thanks for everything you all do!
I enjoyed the Hartzell tour. Nice job and professionally done as well. Thanks....Ian Bell Honeywell flight test
Thanks for the great video, guys. There's so many interesting facets to aviation. Awesome to see a company that values it's employees as well!
Wow, fantastic episode! Very well done, thanks for sharing this with us!
I used to do Dye Penetrant inspection when I was in the Navy, its a pretty cool and relatively
inexpensive process, was cool to see the failed part!
More videos like these please, I love your hobby craft and all at flight test, but the educational side of it, and showing how planes are constructed currently is awesome! thanks
love it. I have huge Hartzell props on their hub right above my desk, all polished out.
great video, thanks for sharing and thanks to Hartzell for allowing "us" access to see what they do.

SO exited as soon as I see a new Flite Test Video. Very Interesting! Keep it up!
"How It's Made" FliteTest style.... I enjoy these types of videos. Thanks for making it.
Cool.
Thanks!
You guys do love aviation.
Thanks for the inspiration and keep on trucking!
I'm a pilot and this was really cool. I enjoy all of your videos.
7:01 UPS delivery man's NIGHTMARE hahahahaha
The aviation club here in Hong Kong actually had a sensenich prop shipped to us and because it was so massive we had to pick it up from a local UPS place. Apparently the guys there are like, "Why the hell do you need a propeller...." They have no idea where we came from.
australia post would just chuck it over the fence and keep driving, or stop on the street and leave a 'sorry we missed you' card without even knocking on your door
Thank you a wonderful video, my prayers are with you at FliteTest and all employees , folks like you make a real company great a very wonderful thing and a good place to work !! BLESSED
I want to see more of these type of vids from Flitest good job thanks to Hartzell for allowing as a peak into how they're made
"Built on Honor". Love it. Proud to own a Hartzell Prop!
Much affirmative goin' on with this blade-slingin' tour!
Thank you for sharing this video, I want more...😀👍
I love these type of videos
Love this guys!. Love planes. We all dream of the big stuff.
love these types of vids
Excellent video. I've done a fair bit of flying on Hartzell propellers and found this very interesting. I'd love to see any extra footage you got, especially of the pitch change mechanism.
Cool tour.
Yes! I was researching exactly that a week ago. thank you :)
This was very knowledgeable video thanks for posting this type of video also
Really cool stuff, thanks!
Great video, I'd love for it to be longer!
Awesome episode guys! What we really need are controllable pitch props for R/C models, and I'm not referring to the ones for 3-d flying. For racers and hotliners, we have to use extremely high pitch to get top speed, but the result is a prop that is stalled out until you reach 50-60 mph, making launches/takeoffs extremely difficult.
Excellent video!!
Great video about a great company.
That is very cool to see.
Wow I never knew that it was this complex to make a propeller thanks for teaching me how they make propellers 👍🏻
Very cool! thanks
Great Vid! Thumbs Up!
Great Information **Kudos**
I am impressed.
It's wonderful to see there's still American companies that has not been sold to an foreign company. Not to mention building an outstanding product. Bravo
M Rose I wouldn't trust my prop if it was made out of A Chinese alloy
Interesting stuff!!
WOW WHAT A GREAT VIDEO. THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO SHOOT IT. NOTHING LIKE GOOD OLD AMERICAN, GRADE (A) PRODUCTS. GREAT JOB !!!!
Awesome video :)
awesome, awesome, and awesome.
I like this kind of aviation content. It is interesting and informative. It is great to see one more facet of how OHIO was and still is the birthplace of aviation.
cool info
Love my Hartzell. And they sent me a 100th birthday t-shirt! :)
Amazing! Now I know where to get a propeller for my room.
The glare on his eyes when talking about this is amazing. That's how you look if you are passionate about something.
Thank you for the great content!
Correction* they change oil pressure inside the hub not the prop as you stated. Constant speed is actually a very old technology dating back to pre war aviation and besides advanced materials they haven't essentially changed much since then. Hartzell have always been one of my favorite manufacturers of this often overlooked facet of aviation, it's Hartzell that brought me home so many times. I hand carved my own wooden prop when I rebuilt my canard weight-shift Eagle ultralight when I was 16 and man did I struggle, the slightest asymmetry or imbalance causes such a severe chain reaction of problems that can ultimately bring an aircraft down (the United Express Embraer that had a full prop detach comes immediately to mind) so it is a very precise science we really should respect more, great that you covered the art in this informative video.
So cool!!!!!!!!!!
Really great and I like the general aviation content. Maybe you could do something on CATTO props? I own of one of their props and his story is really cool. They are really popular with the experimental crowd.
Hat tip to the guys at FliteTest, the folks at Hartzell Propellers and to anyone else who was involved with the presentation of a quality, informative and relatively short video concerning a topic that is just one possible yet necessary component towards powered flight....at least anyways on this planet!
flitetest needs to do a how it's made series!
Good video
great trip
Awesome video. I'm just left with one nagging question. What kind of tape do they use to balance their blades?
pretty cool
hey flite test do a flite test south that would be awesome and can you do a full review on the forge 3d printer.
I Used to make these in Lego with pneumatic parts. Superb fun!
Great video! What an interesting topic for general aviation. But thank God R/C parts are cheaper.
Well, some of them are cheaper. ;)
For those wondering what the black light stuff is, its another form of NDI. Non Destructive Inspection. This form uses a dye penetrant that show flaws under black light. There are other forms that use eddy current, or electricity, kind of like a micro radar to find cracks, and also x-ray to inspect composite materials.
ok ok.
I understand the overhaul disappointment. I just sent my Hartzel constant speed prop to Sensenich (becasue theyre closer to my home airport) when it was torn down the hub was found out of tolerances and to be scraped.
Flite tests version of How Its Made!
Yup. But way better.
Daniel harman Only hire it's made us over: (
What was that at 1:00 🤣🤣 old technology was very dangerous.
Such a polite young man.
demo very good
Nice tbm
Some weeks ago i was able to take 2 props of 2 cessna 208 caravans and ship it for overhaul and that all bcz of my internship at aircraft maintenance netherlands
Great video. Where did you get the wood propeller at.
RC flying rc lead to my fascination with soaring. I know that you did a video on full scale soaring but I would like to see something on glider racing. It's such a dynamic sport but it's popularity among spectators suffers because of among other things an understanding about all that is involved.
I'm going to University in September and want to set up a society for learning about drones and the different type of planes as well as make them and fly them. Are there any ideas or advice you could give to start me off ?
hey josh what is that orange airplane on the wall behind you?
That day when you've been a fan of the channel for so long that you can remember when they just did one video a week, and now that they do videos 5 days a week, sometimes more, you're disappointed because you've seen them all.
Interesting.
I WANT TO WORK THERE!!!!
I have an important question. On Lockheed Martin's F-35 jet they have vertical take off and landing. How can the rotor/propeller stabilizer/holder stay in the middle of the whole that's inserted on the jet to make the blade transparent from above and below?
JetMechMA I have an image but it’s a project that I’m trying to do that could help millions of people. If you’re interested I’d like your help. If not it’s fine.
would love to work there as an environmental scientist one day, I even have my private license working on ifr now
What materials do they use for propellers? Steel or aluminum?
Ive been at the RAF museum in London, and the most interesting thing there, were how old wooden propellers are made.
Do u have video repaint prop?
This might seem small, but good use of PPE. Safety first.
I want study avionics and I think you can make a video of the full avale airplanes electronics and avionics
TBM? Nice plane!
Can you guys do a video on how helicopter blades are made? The actual blades. Thanks.
flite fest east pleassse some day and if you do do ti in illinois
cool
I wanted to see the pitch change on them. has to be sweet to feel inside the plane. ive only seen one variable pitch quad. ran on a belt drive system with one motor. can't remember the name of it. I guess its not a reliable racing setup or more work would go into designing one....:)
Wow . . .
One and done, or done and one? It sounds like a quality initative to check and document at every step that the operation was done correctly. "One and done", has a less favorable connotation than the latter.
'
what kind of materials are the best on the airplanes...
aluminum or fiberglass or plastic or wood
Been making my own foam props, . why are they not holding up?
Boy that is a little plane!
I love propellers! XD
Is that a Culver prop from the Pete?
What's the song in the beginning
Very cool. Now come to Wichita K.S the aviation capital!
Been by Piqua 100 times, but never stopped in... Too bad those constant speed props are so dang expensive! There are several RC ones too which are cool...
2:22 Imagine doing all that complex machine work by hand ! Like they did in WW2
hey an interesting video for once
