Flowcopter – Heavy-Lift UAV Propeller Development

For Flowcopter, MAGCAD designed and manufactured custom propellers for a heavy-lift UAV with a hybrid hydraulic propulsion system.

Technical Highlights

Propeller design optimized for high torque / low RPM hydraulic drives
Aerodynamic layout for hover and forward flight
Adaptation to non-standard hub interfaces
Structural design for high loads, durability, and low vibration
Propellers were tested under realistic conditions, including bird-strike resistance during ground and system test runs

Result

The final propeller solution delivered high thrust efficiency at low rotational speeds, stable operation across flight regimes, and reliable integration into Flowcopter’s heavy-lift platform.
