The AP421CTF-WWR66U is a two blade propeller for use on small direct drive engines. Its configuration is clockwise/tractor with the addition of a feathering facility.
The performance gain from the AP4x constant speed hub, combined with the outstanding design of the Whirlwind U series blade, allows this propeller to perform over a very wide range of speeds. As such it is an extremely popular model, finding application on a wide range of aircraft.
Features include
Designed for small direct drive engines (like UL260iS)
High strength AP421 CS hub with steel retention components
Fast response from high precision Maxon servo drive
Wide operating speed range from Whirlwind U series profile blades
Hard wearing composite blade construction with inlaid Nickel leading edge protection
Easy to use AC200F electronic governor/controller
Easy installation with a wide range of pre-made installation kits
FEATURES
Precision Hub Mechanism
At the heart of each Airmaster propeller is a high quality hub mechanism. The single piece hub shell and steel retention parts ensure the hub is lightweight and strong. The high quality aerospace materials used throught the hub ensure a long life with superior fatigue resistance.
High strength single piece shell
Precision pitch change mechanism
Durable steel retention components
Fast and reliable electric PC motor
Simple Operation
The Airmaster propeller is extremely simple to operate thanks to the AC200 control system. The automatic management of the engine rpm is essential in reducing pilot worklaod during the critical phases of flight like landing and taking off.
Easy selection of engine speeds for Take Off, Climb and Cruise
Flexible speed selection using Hold function
Precise speed regulation from solid state governor
Clear pilot feedback of propeller operation
Semi automatic ‘Feather’ function
High Aerodynamic Performance
Airmaster Propellers offer exceptional performance and durability with a wide range of blade options. The high temperature cure prepreg carbon technology ensures an exceptionally stiff, lightweight blade. This increased strength allows thinner sections and more complex shapes to be formed resulting in highier efficiencies, over a wider speed range.
The WWR66U blade from Whirlwind (USA) offers many features useful to modern Rotax powerered aircraft.
Modern aerodyanmic design ensuring high cruise speeds
Large 66in diameter for improved low speed thrust
Strong and lightweight hollow carbon construction
High gloss natural carbon finish with white tips gives good looks and long life
Tapered blade tip giving quiet and efficient operation
Fully shaped nickel leading edge protecting the leading edge
Easy installation
The installation of the propeller is very straight forward and is designed to be accomplished in a short time by any competent layperson. Included is a very comprehensive operators manual and propeller log book. The propeller comes pre-lubricated and statically balanced with all the necessary hardware supplied.
