Blackhawk’s Hawkeye digital smart gauges bring modern advancements to legacy aircraft. For strong human factors support, the gauges emulate analog readouts with digital accuracy, clearly displaying accurate information without expensive panel modifications.

UPGRADE BENEFITS

• Intelligent, information-rich engine monitoring system
• Increased accuracy over analog
• Visual display of exceedances
• Digital display that emulates familiar two-inch analog gauges for human factors
• Gauges fit in analog positions; no panel modifications required

TECHNOLOGY

• Microprocessor signal processing and digital display technology
• Superior lighting with LED backlight
• Sensor to automatically adjust to lighting conditions – no post lighting
• Anti-glare, airtight, no-fog glass

MT-Propeller’s fast, lightweight composite propellers reduce weight, vibration, and drag while increasing lift, thrust, and lifetime operation. These 4- and 5-blade propellers maximize the benefits of a Blackhawk engine upgrade. 

UPGRADE BENEFITS

• Reduced Weight – Lighter than aluminum, natural composite propellers reduce weight on the engine crankshaft and overall aircraft weight.
• Reduced Vibration – Unlike aluminum, composites do not experience harmonic vibration. Gyros, motor mounts, radios, heat muffs, cowlings, and more enjoy longer life with reduced vibration. 
• Greater Strength – Composites are stronger than aluminum. 
• Unlimited Blade Life – Composite propellers are brought back to exact factory-new dimensions during overhaul, avoiding replacement.
• Steel Hub Inserts – Steel bearing inserts eliminate the requirement to replace the full hub when tolerances are exceeded. 
• Quieter – Shorter blades and increased blade count results in a smaller diameter and lower, quieter tip speeds. 
• More Lift/Thrust – Lower tip speeds maintain smooth airflow, resulting in more lift/thrust. 
• Less Drag – A smaller prop arc disc creates less drag than larger diameter prop arc discs. 
• More Ground Clearance – Smaller diameter propeller blades reduce chances for prop damage from ground objects and debris. 
• Added Resale Value – Upgrade benefits are passed along, increasing resale value. 
• Easy Installation – The blades bolt on easily and use the existing prop governor. 
• Full Warranty – 1 year or 1,000 hours (whichever occurs first) for any manufacturing defects.
