FPV drones · 7 to 7.5-inch long range
Drone propeller 7 in, 5 blades with rounded tips (low noise)
Model designed and computed with the Heliciel software. Design point: 11,000 rpm in hover. Five blades with rounded tips: lower speed for the same thrust, a shape sought to reduce noise.
The pack contains the complete propeller as a full-definition STL, STEP surfaces (complete propeller and one blade), the Heliciel .hlc project and the computation records. It also contains the same propeller turning the other way (STL and STEP).

Need a propeller for your own parameters?
This model was designed and computed with the Heliciel software. For a custom propeller there are two ways: the Heliciel software (Windows: computation, 3D view, STL and STEP exports), and the Heliciel MCP connector, which lets your AI assistant — ChatGPT, Claude, Le Chat and any MCP client — compute a real propeller, with a free 1-day discovery pass.
