The FLASHBLACK are the new generation innovative variable pitch propeller which have the best performances for all flight’s stages. These are a blend of carbon/titanium blades and carbon/aluminum hub which are manufactured in accordance with the DUC Propellers technologies.
The aerodynamic shape of blades uses the innovative design of the FLASH.
These propellers allow to have high efficiency throughout the flight envelope i.e.:
- High efficiency during takeoff and high climb rate
- High efficiency during cruise and maximum speed
- High user comfort
Equipped with grade 5 titanium hardware, this technology and manufacturing level and requirement degree have never been to this advancement. Their variable pitch carbon hub system allows a wide range of angle variation, while being secured by an innovative self-locking step system.
Blade pitch angle is controlled manually or automatically by a Constant Speed control unit. A visual pitch indicator can also be supplied as an option.
The energy supplied to the pitch variation mechanism and control system is partly electrical and partly mechanical, hence the name Hybrid.
