18x18R VORTEX CW Propeller With High-Pitch Aerodynamic Blades For Fixed-Wing Electric UAVs
The 18x18R VORTEX electric propeller is designed for fixed-wing electric aircraft requiring high-speed performance, efficient thrust, and stable operation. Its 18-inch diameter and 18-inch pitch provide a high-pitch configuration for compatible electric propulsion systems. The reverse-rotation CW design is well-suited for counter-rotating, twin-motor, and specialised fixed-wing aircraft setups.
Manufactured from glass-fiber-reinforced nylon, the propeller provides excellent toughness, bending resistance, and dimensional stability. Its CFD-optimised blade profile supports efficient airflow and energy utilisation, while the frosted leading edge helps reduce airflow separation at high RPM. Precision dynamic balancing, slim blade tips, and smooth contours help minimise vibration, aerodynamic drag, and operating noise.
