APC Props
AP-05545EP
This is the APC 5.5x4.5E Speed 400 Pusher Propeller, a high-performance propeller specifically designed for pusher configurations. Manufactured using an advanced pultrusion process, APC propellers feature a higher fiber-to-resin density, with 60% fiber content and a nylon binder. This innovative manufacturing technique results in substantially increased strength and stiffness compared to propellers made of glass-filled nylon. The additional stiffness effectively controls vibration resonance response, while the enhanced strength enables the use of thinner cross-sections, resulting in improved weight reduction and optimal aerodynamic efficiency.
Key Features:
• Computer-optimized design ensures a sleeker profile, providing improved performance with reduced noise levels and enhanced
biting capability
• Lightweight molded nylon construction minimizes rotating mass, resulting in higher power output and prolonged propeller lifespan
• Reinforcing fibers help maintain a consistent pitch at any RPM, ensuring reliable and precise performance
