T-Motor VZ45x18 45x18in Carbon Fiber VTOL Propeller with PMI Foam Core, Flange Mount, Matte

Overview

The T-Motor VZ45x18 is a 45" VTOL propeller designed for VTOL fixed-wing UAVs in multicopter mode. The VZ series is positioned to address VTOL requirements for high strength, high stiffness, and lightweight design, supporting rapid thrust response and stable control during vertical takeoff/landing, cruise, and transition.

Key Features

• High strength: Withstands centrifugal loads and maneuver-induced alternating loads at high RPM to help prevent structural failure.
• High stiffness: Supports 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.
• Composite structure features: Bending & torsion resistant layup design; prepreg compression molding for integrated forming (product porosity below 1%); PMI foam core.
• Aerodynamic design intent for VTOL: Dedicated high lift-to-drag ratio airfoil (VTOL); low-drag cruise blade shape; specialized blade tip.
• Stated comparative improvements: 30% flexural strength and 20% torsional stiffness (based on comparative testing described in Notes).
• Custom VTOL propeller service: 10 to 100 inches (series/service statement).

Details

The VZ45x18 carbon fiber VTOL propeller features a matte black finish with a clean carbon weave for a sleek, professional build.

The propeller’s blade profile is illustrated with airflow direction lines to help visualize the intended rotation and air path.

A foam-core, layered carbon fiber blade construction is designed to balance stiffness with reduced internal weight.

The carbon fiber blade uses a foam core construction to keep the propeller rigid while reducing internal mass.

The flange-mount hub uses a multi-bolt pattern for secure attachment to compatible VTOL motor mounts.

The flange-mount hub uses a multi-bolt pattern to secure the carbon-fiber propeller blade for VTOL builds.

The VZ45x18 propeller’s blade profile is modeled with airflow streamlines and a velocity scale for aerodynamic reference.

CFD flow visualization maps velocity magnitude around the propeller blade profile to help evaluate airflow behavior.

CFD visualization maps airflow streamlines and vortices near the blade tip for aerodynamic analysis.

Computational airflow modeling helps evaluate VTOL propeller blade behavior before installation and flight testing.

Precision CNC machining supports tight tolerances and consistent part fit during production.

The carbon fiber VTOL propeller’s blade profile and hub area can be inspected with 3D scanning for consistent fit and balance.

The T-Motor VZ45x18 45x18in carbon fiber propeller uses a center flange mount for straightforward VTOL installation.

The VZ45x18 propellers include matching CW and CCW blades with a flange-mount center hub for secure installation.
