Product overview
The HOBBYWING VSC 42x16.5 is an industrial rotor propeller intended for VTOL aircraft applications that demand high burst power. Its non-folding construction combines high-strength carbon fiber cloth and a foam core, with carbon fiber and epoxy resin specified as the propeller materials. Thicker blades than conventional multirotor propellers support the design’s emphasis on higher disk loading, wind resistance and operability. The propeller weighs 255 ± 15 g and has a matte abrazine surface finish, defining a fixed-blade propulsion component for aircraft integration.
Recommended HOBBYWING motor pairings are the V11122 and V11130, with a recommended propeller speed of 2000–3000 RPM and recommended thrust of 20–30 kg. The ultimate tension specification is 60 kg. For forward flight, the propeller geometry works with the Intelligent Propeller Control function of HOBBYWING’s H series motor and ESC to reduce drag and improve efficiency. Operating temperature spans -40°C to 65°C; storage requires -10°C to 35°C and humidity no greater than 85%. These operating and storage limits form part of the component’s integration requirements.
