Technical Features

• The crafting process of the GTC Series airfoils involves meticulous attention to detail, utilizing a combination of composite materials, specifically carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP). This distinctive composition enables the airfoils to achieve exceptional levels of performance and precision while maintaining a lightweight yet robust structure. Additionally, the airfoils are reinforced with pre-impregnated woven carbon fibers, further enhancing their durability. To ensure the highest quality standards are met, advanced manufacturing techniques such as pre-impregnated composite manufacturing, high-temperature autoclaving, vacuum bagging, and the utilization of high-quality aluminum billet molds are employed throughout every stage of the production process.
• The development of the GTC Series airfoils involves skillfully harnessing composite materials that capitalize on the benefits of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP), a highly acclaimed material recognized for its lightweight and robust properties. These airfoils are meticulously crafted with exceptional attention to detail, incorporating pre-impregnated carbon fibers that offer an optimal combination of strength and lightness. To ensure the production of airfoils of the utmost quality, advanced manufacturing techniques such as high-temperature autoclaving, pre-impregnated composite manufacturing, vacuum bagging, and the utilization of top-quality aluminum billet molds are implemented. With their resilient structure, the airfoils achieve an impressive balance between lightweight design and long-lasting durability.
  • By integrating carbon fiber composites onto 10mm 6061 billet aluminum pedestals and applying a matte black powder coating, the GTC Series airfoils attain outstanding stability, durability, and secure attachment. The incorporation of carbon fiber materials ensures that the airfoils maintain their lightweight and sturdy characteristics, resulting in an overall enhancement of performance.
