High efficiency electric flight
Streamlined Glider PerformanceNext level efficiency for electric sailplanes
The Aeronaut 13x8 CAM Folding Blades deliver superior aerodynamic efficiency and durability for high-performance electric gliders and sailplanes. Engineered with a specialized carbon-reinforced polymer, these RC plane folding propeller blades minimize drag by folding flush against narrow fuselages.
Precision Electric PropellersAdvanced CAMcarbon technology for sailplane flight
Designed specifically for demanding electric sailplane enthusiasts, the Aeronaut 13x8 CAM Folding Blades represent the pinnacle of folding propeller technology. Featuring an optimized root profile and constructed from high-rigidity carbon-fiber reinforced plastic, these blades minimize aerodynamic drag when folded tightly against glider hulls. Built to fit standard 8mm blade root yokes and precision spinners, the Aeronaut 13x8 CAM Folding Blades ensure efficient thrust delivery up to their maximum rated speed of 12,000 RPM when paired with a motor soft-start setup.

Frequently Asked QuestionsEverything you need to know
How many blades come in a package of Aeronaut 13x8 CAM Folding Blades?
Each package of Aeronaut 13x8 CAM Folding Blades includes one matched pair consisting of two propeller blades.
What is the maximum recommended RPM for the Aeronaut 13x8 CAM Folding Blades?
The maximum permissible operating speed for the Aeronaut 13x8 CAM Folding Blades is 12,000 RPM.
Do I need a specific motor controller setting to use Aeronaut 13x8 CAM Folding Blades?
Yes, operating the Aeronaut 13x8 CAM Folding Blades requires an electronic speed controller (ESC) equipped with a soft-start setting to prevent high dynamic startup stress on the blade roots.
What spinner root size is compatible with Aeronaut 13x8 CAM Folding Blades?
The Aeronaut 13x8 CAM Folding Blades are designed to fit any folding propeller yoke or spinner with an 8mm blade root width.
How does yoke size affect the rated dimensions of Aeronaut 13x8 CAM Folding Blades?
The 13x8 dimension for the Aeronaut 13x8 CAM Folding Blades is calculated using a standard 42mm middle piece (yoke). Using a larger or smaller yoke will proportionally alter both overall diameter and pitch.
What material is used in the construction of Aeronaut 13x8 CAM Folding Blades?
Aeronaut 13x8 CAM Folding Blades are constructed using a high-strength composite plastic reinforced with carbon fibers for structural rigidity.
