Technical Features

• The GTC Series airfoils have a composite construction that is reinforced with carbon fiber polymer (CFRP) to attain a design that is both lightweight and robust. The strength of these airfoils is attributed to the intricate weaving of carbon fibers that are pre-soaked, giving them remarkable durability without any additional weight. In order to achieve optimal performance, the production process includes advanced techniques such as vacuum bagging, high-temperature autoclaving, and precision aluminum billet molds to meet exact specifications.
• The GTC Series airfoils are well-known for their remarkable blend of lightweight design and exceptional durability, which offers dependable performance without compromising on weight. The use of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite materials and skilled craftsmanship, along with pre-soaked carbon fibers, achieves an unmatched balance of strength and lightness. During production, advanced composite techniques such as pre-impregnation, high-temperature autoclave procedures, and vacuum bagging techniques are utilized with top-of-the-line aluminum billet molds to deliver these exceptional outcomes.
  • For improved longevity and increased durability, the GTC Series airfoils are equipped with 10mm 6061 billet aluminum bases. These pedestals are coated with a matte black powder finish to protect against potential damages. Additionally, carbon fiber composites, which are strong yet lightweight, are utilized to securely attach the carbon fiber airfoil.
