What are the advantages of using CFRP? Introduction to "CFRP Propellers."

Lightweight propellers can be made with CFRP! Achieving weight reduction of the aircraft and improved range! Ideal for drones and eVTOLs!

CFRP, or carbon fiber reinforced plastic, is a composite material made of carbon fibers and resin. Due to its lightweight, high strength, and high elasticity characteristics, CFRP enables the reduction of weight in parts such as aluminum and stainless steel. By utilizing a "honeycomb structure" inside the CFRP, further weight reduction is possible. 【Benefits of CFRP】 - High specific modulus (modulus of elasticity ÷ weight) allows for lightweight parts, thin-walled designs, and reduced deflection. - Excellent vibration damping properties enable high-speed operation. - Low thermal expansion coefficient enhances dimensional stability. - High thermal conductivity allows for lightweight heat dissipation components. 【Common Needs】 - Desire to design in original shapes rather than off-the-shelf products. - Want to reduce weight while maintaining rigidity. - Aim to increase size without adding weight. 【Main Applications of CFRP】 Propellers for drones and eVTOLs, etc. 【What Mitsubishi Chemical Can Do】 In addition to manufacturing and selling carbon fibers and prepregs, we can also mold, process, assemble, coat, and inspect these materials, making delivery possible. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

basic information

【Features of CFRP】 ■ Lightweight: The density of the material is 1/4 that of iron and 2/3 that of aluminum. ■ High rigidity: Elastic modulus exceeding that of iron can be designed. ■ Small diameter and thin-walled design (compact design). ■ High vibration damping. ■ High thermal conductivity. ■ Low thermal expansion. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
