Wood and Wood Core Composite Propellers Sensenich manufactures all UAV propellers to rigid FAA Certified Aircraft propeller standards, including using kiln dried lumber, glue shear testing, and material certifications.Sensenich puts every individual propeller through a rigid conformity inspection where airfoil and hub dimensions are verified to the propeller drawing, and every propeller is balanced at four separate stages: during assembly the glued blank is rough balanced; static balance is then checked and maintained through the carving, tipping, and painting operations. All Sensenich wood props are cut on state-of-the-art CNC machines to asssure consistent performance: 10 years from now, the same computer file will be used to profile your new prop, assuring you get identical performance from every propeller. Composite Propellers Sensenich’s line of composite ground adjustable UAV propellers combines the latest airfoil and blade design technology with synthetic fiber manufacturing, allowing optimization of airfoils from hub to tip, increasing performance and allowing some tailoring of the noise profile. The blade is a sealed hollow shell of carbon and glass, with excellent strength/weight, durability and very low inertia. Adjustable hubs allow individual blade replacement and infinite pitch adjustment; electric variable pitch hubs provide in-flight tailoring of blade angle for maximum climb or loiter performance.

Design / Engineering Sensenich propellers are designed using Minimum Induced Loss / Theodorsen method for primary design point, then are mission-profile optimized, using proprietary in-house and commercial codes for off-design point analysis. Maximum Theoretical Propeller Efficiency It's important to consider propeller sizing and integration on any new UAV or engine upgrade before freezing the design. Often, the UAV manufacturer approaches the prop designer with final specifications for power rating and maximum prop diameter. Unfortunately, this limits the prop performance envelope even before...
