The APC 10x6 Folding Electric Propeller is a high-performance propeller specifically designed for electric-powered aircraft. The "10x6" designation indicates that the propeller has a 10-inch diameter and a 6-inch pitch. This means the propeller will move forward 6 inches per revolution, making it suitable for moderate-speed aircraft like electric planes or drones.
Here are some key features and details:
Folding Design: The blades are designed to fold back when not in use, which reduces drag during flight and storage, making it more efficient for electric models that are sensitive to energy consumption.
Lightweight Construction: Typically made from durable, lightweight materials (such as plastic or composite), which helps to maximize the efficiency of electric motors.
Aerodynamic Performance: APC propellers are known for their high quality, delivering smooth and efficient performance. The 10x6 propeller provides a good balance between thrust and efficiency, making it popular for a variety of hobbyist electric aircraft.
Applications: These props are commonly used in applications like RC planes, drones, or any small electric aircraft that requires reliable, efficient propulsion.
Key Features:
Size: 10x6, meaning the propeller has a 10-inch diameter and a 6-inch pitch. The diameter refers to the distance across the entire rotating blade, while the pitch refers to the theoretical distance the propeller would move forward in one full revolution.
Folding Blades: The blades fold back when the motor is turned off, reducing drag and allowing for better aerodynamics during flight. This feature is especially beneficial for electric aircraft, as it helps conserve battery power during non-thrust conditions.
Material: Typically made from a durable composite or plastic material that is both lightweight and strong enough to withstand the forces generated during flight.
Efficiency: Designed for high performance and low drag, ensuring that electric aircraft have the best power-to-weight ratio. This results in longer flight times and improved efficiency for electric motors.
Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of small electric aircraft, including RC airplanes, drones, and other electric-powered flying models.
