The SWIRL-3 propeller range is the 1st propeller fully developed by simulation.
The shape has been defined and maximized with a lot aerodynamic simulation in CFDs under ANSYS Fluent.
These propellers deliver high efficiency over the entire flight envelope, particulary optimized for cruising i.e.:
High “Constant sped” effect and High Calculated Efficiencies
Low fuel consumption and Low noise
A 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.
