A Distinct Universe

A range built for direct-drive.

E-Props already runs dedicated ranges for paramotors, ultralight/Rotax aircraft and drones — because each audience has different clients, products, technologies and manuals. Direct-drive engines are a distinct universe: different aircraft, different engines, different mounting standards, different vibration behavior, different certification standard.

Engineering

Every gram justified, every profile optimized.

E-Props propellers are shaped by proprietary software and validated on real engines.

LUKY Design Software

Proprietary evolutionary-algorithm software that optimizes blade profiles for each engine, aircraft and mission profile.

100% Carbon, RTM Manufacturing

Resin Transfer Molding with a very high fiber ratio — strong, light, and free of the cyclic-stress cracking risk of metal hubs.

Titanium Leading-Edge Protection

A titanium shield bonded to the leading edge protects the blade against erosion and impact throughout its service life.

Vibration & Torsional Analysis

Every configuration is validated on real engines, including instrumented torsional-vibration testing on Lycoming O-360.
