CFRP Propeller
Carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic propeller in Nakashima's product range.
Nakashima lists a CFRP (carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic) propeller alongside its conventional metal propellers. Composite blades are lighter than metal ones and can flex under load, and they are used where weight or noise and vibration matter. The product sits alongside Nakashima's fixed-pitch and controllable-pitch propeller lines.
