Hirth 3500 series

8 aircraft on the U.S. register carry a Hirth 3500 series engine, rated at about 270 horsepower. The Cgs Aviation HAWK ARROW II is the model most often fitted with it (1 aircraft). The aircraft carrying it were built between 1997 and 2012.

The FAA records engines by code, usually at the level of a series ("O-320 series") rather than the exact variant; this page gathers every FAA code that reads as Hirth 3500 series. FAA spelling: 3500 SER.
