P1: In the hearts of many drone and fixed-wing model aviation enthusiasts, a high-performance wooden propeller is more than just a power component; it is a core piece of artistry that determines flight efficiency and feel. As a professional propeller factory with years of industry expertise, RAYI is dedicated to merging the natural texture of traditional materials with modern precision engineering. Today, we take you deep into our production line to unveil the meticulous manufacturing process of a RAYI high-end fixed-wing propeller, from raw wood to finished product, explaining why it deserves the longer wait and higher expectation.
P2: Step One: Precision Sculpting of the Digital Soul
It all begins with a perfect aerodynamic design. Our engineers import rigorously validated airfoil data into a high-performance five-axis CNC machine. Selected blanks of natural beechwood, chosen for their balanced density and excellent toughness, are secured in place. The machine carves with an extreme precision of 0.01mm, ensuring that the pitch, twist, and airfoil curve of every RAYI propeller perfectly match the design blueprint. This lays a solid foundation for efficient power output.
P3: Step Two: Skeleton Reinforcement: The Fiberglass Composite Process
After the initial blank is formed and undergoes its first sanding and primer sealing, it enters RAYI's core process stage: fiberglass composite reinforcement. We understand that pure wooden propellers are susceptible to environmental humidity and temperature. Therefore, the high-precision wooden core is meticulously wrapped in a layer of high-density fiberglass cloth and impregnated with aerospace-grade epoxy resin. The blade is then placed in a constant-temperature oven for a lengthy 30-hour slow cure.
P4: This step is key to why RAYI propellers outperform. It creates a unique "composite skeleton" that, while preserving wood's excellent vibration-damping properties, significantly limits deformation and enhances torsional stiffness and durability. This explains our product's longer production cycle and ensures its stability and extended service life under repeated high-speed operation.
