Designed specifically for today's contemporary kitplanes, the 151 Series propeller may be the ultimate solution for your firewall forward system. The 151 Series is a light weight three-blade hydraulic constant speed propeller designed for the most popular kitplanes using the Lycoming O-320 and O-360 engines (150 - 200 hp).
New for 2004, Whirl Wind is pleased to introduce the model 151. The 151 builds on the strengths of the original 150 by incorporating a host of improvements:
:: New Opti-Q® airfoil:
faster cruise and top speed
:: New 69" diameter:
reduced tip speeds for greater efficiency
:: and lower noise
:: Teflon lined blade
sockets: smoother pitch change, reduced wear
:: Spinner bulkhead attach
reengineered: increased durability
The 151 remains the lightest weight constant speed propeller available — 28 lbs total system weight. Contributing to this light weight is our one-piece hub that is CNC machined from certified aerospace aluminum alloy. The propeller blades are constructed using our patented design and process, using advanced thermoset composite materials to make the lightest and strongest blades possible. This design has been tested to exceed more than 4 times the blade retention load required by FAR 35 - in excess of 90,000lbs.
These blades use the same patented, time proven design as our successful aerobatic propellers (the 200C and the 400C). Each 151 series blade is equipped with a nickel leading edge for the best possible abrasion protection — this means flying from dirt runways and through rain is no problem. Our craftsmanship and attention to detail are simply unparalleled. Important to builders in reducing construction time, our spinner packages for RV, Glasair, Glastar, and Lancair are fully completed requiring only paint.
With the Whirl Wind 151 you can expect to get the maximum performance possible from your aircraft. You'll experience shorter take-off distance, better climb, improved overall acceleration, top speed and more efficient cruise. Ask any of our growing family of 150- and 151-series owners at a fly-in: the smooth, quiet ride can only be described as remarkable.
The perfect companion for your Whirl Wind, we specify the Jihostroj P920-028 governor for the 151 Series due to its proven reliability, compact (4.9" base to arm) design, and light 2 lbs weight.
