Propellers for UL260/350 Engines

The WhirlWind GA propeller series are ground pitch adjustable aircraft propellers featuring advanced aerodynamic and composite design. The high gloss urethane surface shows off the quality craftsmanship and attention to detail.

The blade design is optimized for maximum efficiency and minimum noise. The blade structure is manufactured from theromoset epoxy/graphite composite matrix. This advanced composite structure ensures high strength and blade accuracy in all flight environments. Only WhirlWind propellers come standard with electroformed Nickel leading edge shields for superior fit and abrasion protection. The hub is CNC machined from aerospace aluminum and is dimensionally certified.

 

Testimonials

Hi WhirlWind,

Just installed your new 70in S.T.O.L. propeller on UL350 powered Zenith 701. I can say with confidence this is the best performing propeller we have tried, and we have tried them all! Take off and climb are impressive and everyone is crazy over the carbon fiber finish.

Thanks for a fantastic propeller !!

Scott Ehni

Airplane : Zenith 701

Engine : UL350

 


 

We flew for 4 hours with the new Whirl Wind 3 blade propeller for the UL 350IS and I must say I am impressed. 3300 RPM for takeoff and the propeller would out climb the “Brand X Propeller”, however the cruise RPM was too high. So that we added 2 degrees of pitch and could take with 3000 RPM, the rate of climb was still 1400 feet per minute. Now I cruise with 100 less RPM than the “Brand X” at 96 MPH and 2560RPM. This is the best preforming propeller we have tested. And we’ve tested all the big name brands.

Here are Pictures of our new UL 350 3 blade Whirlwind propeller during the partial solar eclipse. Fitting because this prop has eclipsed all the others we have tested so far.

LSA / S.T.O.L Propellers GA-RW3B (3-blade)

EFFICIENT – QUIET – LIGHT WEIGHT

WhirlWind’s Rotax GA Series propellers (ASTM certified) are designed for LSA and S.T.O.L. type aircraft. Optimized planform shape and proprietary airfoils make this propeller efficient and very quiet in operation. The carbon fiber construction with X-Core™ ensures a safe, strong propeller with low inertia as Rotax requires. The Nickel leading edge provides superior abrasion protection and the blade’s high gloss natural carbon fiber finish will satisfy the most discriminating owner.

WhirlWind’s GA blades are constructed from aerospace thermo-set composite materials, and are equipped with a full length electro-formed nickel leading edge for unparalleled durability and precise fit. These blades are light and durable, and are suitable for flying in rain and from unimproved airstrips. WhirlWind’s GA hubs are machined from aerospace grade billet aluminum.

Testimonial

Amazing performance, rate of climb out of this world at 1200 feet per min. at 6000 ft. Thanks!

Should you wish to send a t shirt please do so in large.

I’ll be happy to tell anyone how wonderful your props are.

Cheers,

GA200L (2-Blade) Propeller for Lycoming O-320 / IO-360

Designed for Performance

GA200L propeller is a purpose designed for RV airplanes with special attention to top end speed and cruise performance. Design features are optimized blade area, twist distribution and highly taped plan form for minimum induced drag. Even the cowl and fuse shape was taken into account when designing blade shape, twist and airfoils.

Why WhirlWind Ground Adjustable propeller?

  • You only need to buy one propeller.
  • Performance flexibility ; pitch to your performance preference, top end speed or super-efficient cruise.
  • With a conventional fixed pitch (FP) propeller, small airframe clean up modifications and engine performance changes can necessitate a  propeller change / re-pitch. With the 200GA propeller you can immediately take advantage of airframe/engine performance improvements simply by making a small pitch adjustment without the need of buying a new propeller or waiting to get the FP re-pitched.
  • The propeller is very durable with the Nickle leading edge from rain, sand and abrasion. It is well tested and proven.
  • Complete propeller, 13 in spinner and space kits available for easy assembly.

GA200L Construction

The blade structure is manufactured from theromoset epoxy/graphite composite matrix. This advanced composite structure ensures high strength and blade accuracy in all flight environments. WhirlWind GA200L propellers come standard with electroformed Nickel leading edge for superior fit and abrasion protection. The hub is CNC machined from aerospace aluminum, dimensionally certified and anodized. Standard blade finish is high glass black with white tips.

SPINNERS

allspinners_new

WhirlWind Propellers offers carbon fiber spinners laminated with epoxy resin, trimmed and fitted specifically to our propellers, and ready to fly. These  spinners are manufactured with the same craftsmanship and attention to detail as our propellers. Spinners are finished with a white primer ready for painting or 12” Spinners are also available in a Carbon (Dark Matter) finish–a clear semi-gloss gel coat over the natural carbon fiber. For maximum gloss and UV Protection, it is recommended that the customer apply a clear urethane top coat over the Dark Matter finish.

All Spinner Orders Include Spinner Dome, Back Plate, and Hardware (nut plates pre-installed).

​

Choosing a Spinner:

  1. Only consider spinners compatible with your specific WhirlWind propeller
  2. Find dimension [C] for each compatible spinner option
  3. Engine flange or spacer must protrude from cowling by (dimension [C] + 0.2”)
  4. Choose from compatible spinners based on appropriate diameter for cowling and personal preference
