Flight Test Propeller Sensenich

The Sensenich  Propeller 2 Blade Rotax 2AO (Adjustable)  is a  composite prop  introduced by Sensenich to the airboat market a decade ago. This propeller is manufactured using an internal pressure, closed mold system to produce a hollow, one piece blade. This process yields very repeatable blades with maximum strength, durability, and low weight. 

This propeller features a co-cured bonded metal leading edge for erosion and FOD protection. The two piece hub is manufactured from aerospace grade aluminum and is either alodined or anodized for corrosion protection.

This 2 Blade Rotax propeller is suitable for use on the 912 80HP, 912S 100HP and 914 115HP. Blade can be trimmed to make propellers from 66″ to 75″ diameter. In this test a different hub (Quintavio) has been used (without spinner just for the test) with adjust variable pitch in flight. 

The test has been performed on a Tecnam (P96 Golf) equipped with a Rotax 100 HP. It showed a very good perfomance at cruise with an average speed of 100 kts and good cost saving at higher altitude (up to 5000 ft).
