The Pipistrel Low-Noise propeller is an adjustable fixed-pitch propeller for Ultralight and Experimental aircraft. The LN propeller may be used as both, push or pull-type propeller and therefore suits all aircraft construction types. Propeller pitch may easily be adjusted on ground to achieve maximum efficiency for every aircraft and type of operation.
propeller pitch at 3/4 of prop. radius - 12° – 32°
blade width - 110 mm
The LN propeller’s outer skin and inside parts are made of composite materials, namely fibre-reinforced plastic. Blade’s base is made of aluminum and stainless steel tube, which lies within to ensure blade’s safe attachment to the propeller base (hub).
The propeller base (hub) is made of an aluminum alloy and features monolith construction. To achieve highest levels of propulsion efficiency combined with lower noise output the manufacturer recommends a spinner to be mounted. Furthermore, a vibration reduction flange can be mounted to significantly reduce engine vibrations that otherwise directly affect the propeller.
