McCauley Propeller Systems
McCauley Propeller Systems, founded in 1938 by Ernest G. McCauley, is an American manufacturer of propellers for aircraft. The company headquarters was at one time located in Vandalia, Ohio, but is today located in Wichita, Kansas.
Originally called McCauley Aviation Corporation, in September 1996 it was renamed McCauley Propeller Systems. The company was owned by Cessna, now part of Textron Aviation, which is in turn owned by Textron.
The company is noted for having invented the ground-adjustable, solid-steel propeller in 1941 and the forged aluminum propeller in 1946.
