DUC SWIRL PROPELLER
CARACTERISTICS
 
PROPELLERS
Hélice swirl

This propeller is available in :

  • Two-bladed,
  • Three-bladed.

Diameter :

1400 à 1745 mm

Weight : Two-bladed 2.570 kg
  Three-bladed 3.375 kg

 

 
HUB :
moyeu helice swirl
The hub used is a carbon hub identical to DUC FC WINDSPOON propeller, made out of FORGED CARBON PROCESS which makes it possible to obtain exceptional mechanical resistances

This propeller was studied to have an " constant speed " effect. The blades are manufactured with part of carbon plies and their design was carried out to obtain maximum strains in torsion and inflection. It's why the constant speed effect is not dependent on the blade distortion but on its geometry and its particular profile.

Because of the extra flat profile and a small cord, we obtain an excellent output as well:

  • In performance,
  • In noise
  • In consumption.
ADVANTAGES
Thanks to the " constant speed " effect, we have very little variation ot the RPM engine between static and dynamic.

This propeller makes it possible to have more performances on the whole of flight to knowing :

  • Better effectiveness on the takeoff and in rates of rise due to the engine speed more raised
  • much lengthening-piece in cruising,
  • A great comfort of use
TYPE OF BLADE
Pales swirl standard et inconel

The SWIRL blade is available in two versions :

  • la SWIRL STANDARD,
  • la SWIRL INCONEL.
SWIRL STANDARD
and INCONEL blades


 
The INCONEL SWIRL Blade has the characteristic to be to protect on the level from the leading edge with an Inconel reinforcement.
INCONEL is refractory stainless with a hardness of very high surface.

* For the very fast machines (speed higher than 200 km/h) we advise a 2 blade right tractive propeller with a reduction of the diameter according to the smoothness and the speed of the apparatus
 
ADJUSTMENT
 
ANGLE OF ATTACK :
The values which follow are theoretical values and the number RPM engine in statics must be checked.

The chock is carried out with the tool for adjustment plated on the under-surface (leading edge in top) to 20 cm of the blade tip. The angle d'attaque is formed by the vertical and the leading edge of the blade. For this, place your ULM so that the carries - propeller plate is perfectly vertical.
