T-Motor VZ18x7 18in PMI Carbon VTOL Propeller, Flange Mount Ø6/Ø12, 8800 RPM (Max Rec)

Overview

T-Motor VZ18x7 is a VTOL propeller designed to break through the performance limitations of traditional multi-rotor propellers, providing a lightweight design with high strength, high stiffness, and aerodynamic optimization for VTOL applications (vertical takeoff/landing and cruise).

Key Features

• High strength: withstands centrifugal loads and maneuver-induced alternating loads at high RPM to help prevent structural failure.
• High stiffness: supports safe blade-tip clearance in compact layouts, suppresses aeroelastic deformation, and helps prevent flutter.
• Lightweight design: reduced moment of inertia for rapid thrust response and higher attitude control bandwidth for the flight control system.
• VTOL aerodynamic design:
  • Vertical takeoff/landing phase: targets high thrust and power with high lift output from limited blade area.
  • Cruise phase: when the propeller stops rotating, designed to minimize profile drag and reduce power consumption.
• Transition stability focus: addresses complex flow-field interference associated with high angle of attack, low speed, unsteady flow, asymmetric airflow, and periodic force variations that can induce flutter and thrust fluctuation.
• Composite structure & manufacturing:
  • Bending & torsion resistant layup design (optimized fiber orientation and ratio).
  • Prepreg compression molding for integrated forming; product porosity below 1%.
  • PMI foam core to increase stiffness while controlling total weight.
• Reported comparative improvements: 30% flexural strength and 20% torsional stiffness (comparative testing vs G Series propellers).
• Blade root optimization: blade root thickness optimized to provide structural redundancy while reducing loads on connecting bolts.
• Blade geometry priorities: dedicated high lift-to-drag ratio airfoil, low-drag cruise blade shape, and specialized blade tip to weaken vortex strength and improve flight quality.
• Simulation/analysis labels shown:
  • Stress legends shown: 120.91 (max) to 0.014115 (min); 104.27 (max) to 0.12636 (min).
  • “15%” bolt shear load note.
  • CFD plots labeled “pathlines-1 Velocity Magnitude” with scale from 0.000e+00 to 1.18e+01 [m/s].
  • CFD plot labeled “pathlines-1 Particle ID” with scale from 0.000e+00 to 3.88e+05.
