The 18 month R & D Project to establish the design rules and dimensions for manufacturing contra rotating propellers for electric motors has been completed.

The £250k project was supported by NATEP and undertaken by CEP,  Hercules Propellers and air-framer Falcomposite. The results were presented to the NATEP Dissemination Conference at Bristol’s UWE Exhibition and Conference Centre and described as highly significant to the development of electric propulsion in light aviation.
