A Hamilton Standard ground adjustable propeller was fitted for the first time to the Cirrus.
2.
Further development with improved aerodynamics, numerous technical innovations and a Hamilton Standard ground adjustable propeller radically changed the aircraft's appearance.
3.
The aircraft was powered by a 100 hp Continental O-200 engine driving a 72-inch Hartzell ground-adjustable propeller.
4.
ASAP at one time owned GSC Propellers who made a line of wooden blade, aluminum hub, ground adjustable propellers for the ultralight aircraft market.
5.
An even simpler version is the ground-adjustable propeller, which may be adjusted on the ground, but is effectively a fixed-pitch prop once airborne.
6.
Originally producing fixed pitch wooden propellers, the company expanded into ground adjustable designs and more recently introducing the GSC-GTA, a mechanical, inflight-adjustable propeller.
7.
Pre-production started with a run of eight aircraft from EKW with engines built by Adolph Saurer AG driving a new Escher-Wyss EW-V3 fully adjustable propeller.
8.
Ground-adjustable propellers, which tend to be found on light aircraft and very light aircraft, are much cheaper and lighter in weight than in-flight-adjustable propellers.

10.
It is intended that the RV-12 will be powered by a Sensenich composite ground-adjustable propeller, although as a kit aircraft the builder can complete it as they choose.
