UAV propellers is an aircraft propeller offering that turns rotational shaft power into aerodynamic thrust. It is intended for a propulsion installation where the blade configuration and operating limits are matched to the engine and airframe.
The UAV propellers is an aircraft propeller from Sensenich with fixed pitch type and carbon-fibre material. Sensenich fixed-pitch composite UAV propellers are carbon fibre aircraft propellers for unmanned aircraft, made by Sensenich Propellers. They convert engine or motor shaft power into thrust for fixed-wing UAS and are available in a wide selection of standard configurations as well as build-to-print and custom designs.
The maker positions the fixed-pitch composite line for a wide range of power, performance and noise requirements. A fixed-pitch composite propeller is the lightest and stiffest choice in the Sensenich range and is durable enough for demanding high-performance applications. Sensenich states that all of its UAV propellers are made to aircraft propeller standards and that every propeller goes through a conformity inspection in which airfoil and hub dimensions are verified against the propeller drawing.
The selection ranges are the key figures for the integrator. Engine power runs from 5 to 200 horsepower, and the propellers suit piston, rotary, heavy-fuel and electric power, with direct drive or redrive. Aircraft speed ranges from 30 to 300 knots, and diameters run from 15 inches to 98 inches (380 cm to 2.48 m). Blade counts are 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6, which lets the designer trade diameter against noise and ground clearance for a given power. The material is carbon fibre, and the blades are supplied in black, gray or clear.
Integration is defined by the rotation and the hub. Both pusher and tractor installations are offered, with clockwise or counter-clockwise rotation, so the propeller matches the engine's turning direction and the position on the airframe. Many standard flange patterns are available and custom flange patterns can be made when the engine mount needs them. For leading-edge protection against rain and particles, the maker offers a urethane edge, a special erosion coating or a metal erosion shield. Orders are placed through a request for quote, with the engine, the blade count, the pitch angle and the bore dimension specified.
Typical applications are tactical and long-endurance fixed-wing UAS, gasoline and heavy-fuel powered aircraft with redrive, electric fixed-wing and hybrid platforms, and unmanned aircraft with specific noise requirements.
