Aerodine’s propellers are designed to meet the evolving demands of modern unmanned aviation, enhancing endurance, hover stability, stealth and payload agility. Each propeller is aerodynamically optimised for lift, drag, noise reduction and thrust efficiency across diverse mission profiles – including hover, cruise and mixed-use operations. Manufactured from high-strength composite materials with specialised surface treatments, they offer superior resistance to abrasion, UV exposure and corrosion for long-term reliability. Advanced airfoil designs and tip geometries reduce acoustic signatures, enhancing stealth performance for defence and surveillance missions.

All propellers are fully ITAR-compliant and manufactured in the US using traceable, domestically sourced materials – critical for Department of Defense programs and Blue UAS certification. Aerodine supports customers from prototype to production, with scalable manufacturing capacity ranging from one-off development units to more than 2,000 units per month. Each propeller is delivered flight-ready with precision balancing, erosion-resistant coatings, static discharge management, and optional low-observable or custom finishes. Customers also benefit from Aerodine’s full-service engineering support, from reverse engineering and build-to-print production to mission-specific design optimisation.

With composites expertise across aerospace, defence, motorsports, medical and industrial markets, Aerodine is positioned as a trusted partner for unmanned systems. The company holds AS9100D, ISO 9001:2015, and FAA Part 145 certifications, ensuring precision, traceability and operational reliability. Aerodine’s adaptable engineering model integrates seamlessly with customer workflows, while its scalable operations and agile R&D partnerships make it a mission-critical supplier.

Craig McCarthy, CEO of Aerodine Composites, highlighted the significance of this capability: “Our advanced UAS/UAV propellers embody everything Aerodine is known for – precision-engineered performance, defence-grade compliance and scalable U.S. manufacturing. In unmanned systems, mission success hinges on reliability, stealth and adaptability. This offering delivers all three, backed by decades of composites excellence and trusted partnerships.”
