This is the APC 18x8 Thin Electric Propeller, a superior choice for electric-powered applications. These APC propellers are meticulously manufactured using a pultrusion process, allowing for a higher fiber (60%) to resin (nylon binder) density. This advanced manufacturing technique ensures substantially increased strength and stiffness compared to glass-filled nylon propellers. The additional stiffness plays a crucial role in controlling vibration resonance response, while the higher strength enables the use of thinner cross-sections, resulting in improved weight reduction and enhanced aerodynamic efficiency.
Key Features:
• Incorporates a computer-optimized design, providing these propellers with 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 operational life.
• Embedded reinforcing fibers ensure a consistent and precise pitch at any RPM.
