Construction
The 400A Series propeller blades are constructed from
advanced thermoset composite materials. Each blade is
equipped with a nickel leading edge erosion shield to protect
the blade leading edge from debris damage. The 400A
Series System includes: propeller, spinner, and all hardware
needed for installation.
The 400A Series hub is CNC machined from certified
aerospace aluminum alloy, which is then shot peened and
anodized. The hub blade sockets are equipped with ball
bearings to ensure smooth pitch change of the blades
throughout the life of the propeller system. This propeller can
be flown in rain and off unimproved airstrips.
