Gemfan Vortex 5x11 are 2-blade propellers from the Vortex series, designed primarily for fast RC airplane models and wings, with possible use on high-speed quadcopters. They have a 5" diameter and a very high 11" pitch, providing strong forward thrust and making them suitable for models flying at high speeds. The blades feature a profile optimized using CFD simulations, a matte leading edge, and thin blade tips for lower noise and higher efficiency. They are made of glass fiber reinforced nylon, which is tough and resistant to bending, and each propeller is dynamically balanced.
The center shaft hole measures 6.35 mm (1/4"). With the included adapter rings in 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 mm sizes, the propellers can also be fitted to smaller shafts. The hub has a textured surface to prevent slipping. The E version is a standard tractor propeller, while the R version is reversed (opposite rotation direction), for example for twin-engine airplanes. According to the manufacturer's measurements, the propeller delivers a maximum thrust of approximately 660 g with a 2806.5 1900Kv motor at 22.2V.
Propellers are supplied in packs of 2 pcs according to the selected variant.
