This is the APC 17x7 Thin Electric Propeller, a remarkable choice for electric-powered applications. These APC propellers undergo precision manufacturing using a pultrusion process, allowing for a higher fiber (60%) to resin (nylon binder) density. This unique technique results in substantially increased strength and stiffness compared to propellers made with glass-filled nylon. The additional stiffness plays a vital role in controlling vibration resonance response, while the higher strength enables the use of thinner cross-sections, leading to improved weight reduction and enhanced aerodynamic efficiency.
Key Features:
• Incorporates a computer-optimized design, granting these propellers a thinner profile for increased performance, improved "bite,"
and reduced noise generation.
• Crafted from lightweight molded nylon, these propellers effectively reduce rotating mass, resulting in higher output and an extended lifespan.
• Embedded reinforcing fibers ensure a consistent and precise pitch at any RPM.
