World Class Wood Propellers by Peter De Necker
The P-Prop is renowned as a high quality wood and composite hybrid propeller - meaning a laminated wood core covered by carbon fiber and glass weave over 70% of the blade area. Each propeller is theoretically designed using the latest state of the art engineer airfoil programs, developed and tested by the best in 3D NURBS graphics to the most exacting BS ISO 1011 military standards. Years and years of development, improvement and utter refinement have yielded a brilliant product that is equal to or better than any similar propeller flown by top pilots today.
