                                                Propeller Overview
                                                •  Available in 8 & 10 blades (based on hub type)
                                                •  Hub: heat treated A356-T6 Aluminum
                                                •  Blades: high pressure die-cast of A380 Aluminum or
                                                    sandcast 713 Tenzaloy. Differs by fan size.
                                                •  Left hand rotation only
                                                •  All sizes utilize a straight bore hub

                                                •  Sizes are in metric Centimeters (cm)
                                                Adjustable In-Flight
                                                •  Blades are “In-Flight” adjustable by using air
                                                    pressure supplied between a pneumatic diaphragm
 ADJUSTABLE (IN-FLIGHT)  ADJUSTABLE (AT REST)       and a positioner to simultaneously change the blade

 SIZES: 32” (080) – 79” (200)  SIZES: 32” (080) – 79” (200)  pitch while the impeller is rotating at motor speed
 Rotation: LH Only  Rotation: LH Only           Adjustable At Rest
                                                •  Blades are adjustable but considered “Fixed Pitch”
                                                    because they can only be re-pitched when the fan is
