Common Drone Propeller Materials and Applications

Wooden Propellers: Often used in oil-powered fixed-wing drones. Easy to process, with natural damping and good vibration resistance.
Carbon-Plastic Propellers: Commonly used in small to medium-sized drones, such as agricultural drones. Lightweight and corrosion-resistant.
Composite Propellers: Suitable for scenarios with higher performance requirements, such as long-endurance, heavy-load, and high-maneuverability drones. This kind of drone propellers offer high specific strength, stiffness, lightweight, and low vibration.

HOBBYWING UAV Propeller Types

HOBBYWING focuses on two types of high-performance propeller materials, providing specialized solutions for different drone needs.

Carbon-Plastic Propeller (High-Strength Carbon Fiber Reinforced Nylon Composite)

Features: Balance strength and corrosion resistance, lightweight.
Application: Compatible with HOBBYWING X-Series integrated propulsion systems. Mainly used for agricultural drones and training drones, suitable for plant protection applications with a takeoff weight under 150kg and flight speeds not exceeding 13.8 m/s, offering good resistance to pesticide corrosion and cost-effectiveness.。

Note: Due to resonance issues between upper and lower propellers in coaxial drones, carbon-plastic propellers are not suitable for coaxial drones.

Folding propeller

Carbon Fiber Propeller (Epoxy Resin Reinforced Carbon Fiber Composite)

Features: Lightweight, high rigidity, excellent dynamic balance, low vibration, and superior extreme performance.
Application: Compatible with HOBBYWING H-Series integrated power systems and P-Series high-voltage propulsion systems. Suitable for industrial-grade UAVs, such as long-endurance, high-speed, large-scale, and coaxial UAVs.
