Technical Features

• The GTC Series airfoils undergo meticulous craftsmanship, employing a combination of composite materials, specifically carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP). This distinctive composition enables the airfoils to attain exceptional levels of performance and precision while maintaining a lightweight yet robust structure. Moreover, the airfoils are fortified with pre-impregnated woven carbon fibers, further enhancing their durability. To ensure compliance with the most rigorous quality standards, advanced manufacturing techniques such as pre-impregnated composite manufacturing, high-temperature autoclaving, vacuum bagging, and the utilization of high-grade aluminum billet molds are implemented throughout the production process.
• The development of the GTC Series airfoils entails skillfully harnessing composite materials that combine the strengths of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP), widely recognized for its lightweight and robust properties. These airfoils are meticulously crafted with meticulous 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 highest caliber, advanced manufacturing techniques such as high-temperature autoclaving, pre-impregnated composite manufacturing, vacuum bagging, and the utilization of top-quality aluminum billet molds are employed. Thanks to their resilient structure, the airfoils achieve an impressive balance between a lightweight design and durability.
  • By integrating carbon fiber composites onto 10mm 6061 billet aluminum pedestals and applying a matte black powder coating, the GTC Series airfoils attain exceptional stability, durability, and secure attachment. The inclusion of carbon fiber materials ensures the airfoils maintain their lightweight and robust qualities, resulting in an overall enhancement of performance.
