Overview
This VTOL propeller is the T-Motor VZ40x16.1 VZ Series one-piece straight propeller designed for VTOL fixed-wing UAVs in multicopter mode. It uses a resin-based carbon fiber composite with a PMI foam core and a matte surface treatment, targeting high strength, high stiffness, and lightweight performance for VTOL vertical takeoff/landing and cruise requirements.
Key Features
- High strength: designed to withstand centrifugal loads and maneuver-induced alternating loads at high RPM.
- High stiffness: helps maintain safe blade-tip clearance in compact layouts, suppresses aeroelastic deformation, and helps prevent flutter.
- Lightweight design: reduces moment of inertia for rapid thrust response and higher attitude control bandwidth.
-
Superior aerodynamic design for VTOL phases:
- Vertical takeoff/landing: designed for high thrust and power within limited blade area.
- Cruise: designed to minimize profile drag when the propeller is stopped.
- Transition stability focus: addresses complex flow-field interference such as high angle of attack, asymmetric airflow, and periodic force variations.
-
Composite structure & process:
- 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.
- Test-derived improvement references: 30% flexural strength and 20% torsional stiffness (comparative testing vs. G Series propellers; results depend on test conditions).
- Blade root optimization: optimized root thickness for structural redundancy while reducing loads on connecting bolts.
- Custom VTOL propeller service: 10 to 100 inches (service offering for the VZ Series).
