I'm Lonnie Prince, I founded Prince Aircraft Company in 1979 as a part-time business in the basement of my home. During that time I worked full-time as an Air Traffic Controller, building my own experimental aircraft, flying corporate aircraft, and President of our local Experimental Aircraft Association Chapter. After the 1981 Air Traffic Controller strike I began manufacturing propellers as a full time occupation. My manufacturing capability was only three propellers a month, all being hand carved. We certainly have grown since then. Today we are a company of several employees and have the capability to manufacture in excess of one hundred propellers a month. Using sophisticated tracing as well as Computer Numerically Controlled carving equipment. I am proud to say we have manufactured nearly Seven Thousand propellers for customers around the world. The Prince P-TIP Propeller is unique. It has many features not normally found with a fixed pitch propeller, including automatic pitch changing and anhedral. The Prince P-TIP Propeller is an investment in outstanding performance, efficiency, reliability, and noise reduction ; all this and our outstanding workmanship too.
