Product overview
The T-MOTOR VZ40×16.1 is a carbon fiber propeller supplied as two pieces per pair for heavy-lift VTOL UAV propulsion. Its intended applications include cargo transport and large UAV platforms, with maximum thrust stated as up to 48kg. T-MOTOR recommends the VL1155 VTOL Propulsion Kits as the matching system. This procurement item is a propeller pair for integration into a propulsion assembly; its supplied configuration is distinct from a complete flight platform or an airframe kit.
Its physical construction combines prepreg molding, a PMI foam core, and high-strength carbon fiber to achieve a lightweight structure with low porosity. The aerodynamic design targets high takeoff lift, low cruise drag, and reduced thrust fluctuation during VTOL transitions. A special airfoil and blade-tip geometry address lift and vortex drag, while the structural design addresses deformation, vibration, load distribution, and redundancy under demanding operation. Warranty coverage lasts 12 months from purchase and requires valid proof.
