This is the APC 8x4 Thin Electric Propeller, designed to deliver exceptional performance for electric-powered aircraft. APC propellers are meticulously manufactured using a pultrusion process, allowing for a higher fiber (60%) to resin (nylon binder) density. This innovative manufacturing technique results in substantially higher strength and stiffness compared to propellers made with glass-filled nylon. The additional stiffness effectively controls vibration resonance response, while the increased strength enables the use of thinner cross-sections, optimizing both weight reduction and aerodynamic efficiency.
Key Features:
• Computer-optimized design ensures a thinner profile, providing improved performance with reduced noise and enhanced biting capability.
• Lightweight molded nylon construction minimizes rotating mass, resulting in higher output and an extended lifespan.
• Reinforcing fibers maintain a true and constant pitch at any RPM, ensuring reliable and consistent performance.
