Folding Drone Propellers
Compare folding drone propellers from Chinese manufacturers by diameter, pitch, material and hub fit, for multirotor, VTOL and agricultural drones.
Folding propellers only: blades that pivot on the hub so the aircraft packs smaller. Fixed propellers stay on the drone propellers page. Listings range from small multirotor propellers to large carbon fiber blades for agricultural sprayers.
Quick selection guide
Agricultural sprayers
Blades sold for a named sprayer model; match the aircraft model, rotation direction and blade position.
Multirotor and VTOL
Pair diameter and pitch with the motor's tested combinations and check the folding clearance on the arm.
Material
Carbon fiber blades are stiffer for their weight; polymer and glass-fiber nylon blades flex more.

What to check before you buy
- Diameter and pitch
- Match both to the motor manufacturer's tested combinations and the clearance on your aircraft.
- Hub and blade root
- Check blade root thickness, pivot hole size and whether the quote covers blades, hub or the complete set.
- Rotation and position
- Confirm CW and CCW blades and, on coaxial aircraft, upper and lower positions.
- Material and balance
- Ask for the blade material and how each pair is balanced.
- Test data
- Compare thrust and current only when the motor, voltage and propeller in the test are named.
Folding propellers FAQ
Will blades with the same diameter fit my hub?
Not necessarily. Blade root thickness, pivot hole and clamp design all have to match.
Do folding propellers give longer flight times?
Folding alone does not make a propeller more efficient. Compare test data for the whole motor and propeller combination.
Can I replace a single blade?
Blades are usually balanced as a pair; check the manufacturer's instructions before pairing a new blade with a used one.
