Vibratech Propellor Balancing

Hughes Engineering has been involved in design and manufacture of propellers since we started making aircraft in 1985. The reason for this is simple, the propeller is as important to an aeroplane as good tires are to a motorcar. The propeller delivers the power to the air and its efficiency affects

Hughes Engineering began manufacturing timber propellers for the Aeropower engine in 1988 when a propeller copying machine was developed, then, when Boly began making carbon fiber props, the conceptual design of our in-flight adjustable propeller began.

We have now added Propeller Balancing to our inventory of technical services because a properly balanced propeller not only delivers the ultimate in aerodynamic efficiency but it also creates a quieter environment for the pilot and reduces airframe wear and fatigue.

We now have been appointed provisional agents for the Vibratech Propeller balancing system, that our detailed research has shown, is the ultimate in efficiency.

Please contact one of our friendly staff to enquire about our Balancing services. Available for $99.00.
