Construction description

Air propellers VTM 02/03/04 are the propellers with adjustable step, that is, the pitch of the screw can be changed.

Air propellers are available in left and right rotation.

Blades and air propeller hub are made of high-strength heat-treated aluminum alloy by way of mechanical processing by means of the close control equipment. This provides for the following high-rated operational characteristics: high thrust and operational life, excellent protection from mechanical damage, weak abrasive wear, high maintainability.

Propeller hub consists of two parts. Blades are fixed between these parts. Thrust collars are made at the outer surface of the blade butts and at the inner surface of the propeller hub.

Fixing and mounting holes are made in the hub. Halves of hubs are centered together by tacks. Graduation lines are marked on the front of the hub body and on the propeller blades to make blade pitch setting possible without using special straight-edge. Propeller is supplied assembled with preliminary settled pitch.

Material for blades and propeller hubs is a high-strength heat-treated aluminum alloy Д16Т (foreign analogue of 2024Т3)

• High-rated strength characteristics of the material for propellers provide for feasibility of operation with high angular speed - up to 270 m/s. This provides for augmentation of propeller thrust without change of engine capacity.
• Increased propeller thrust is also provided by optimal sections and high-grade finish of blade faces.
• Availability of propellers with diameter of 2,500 mm in a model line-up allows to implement a thrust 30% more in comparison with propellers with diameter of 2,000 - 2,100 mm upon unchanged engine capacity. Simple propeller diameter increase allows to avoid complicated and sometimes heavy and cumbrous constructive solutions applicable usually for thrust increase: usage of ring fillings, coaxial reduction gears together with easily vulnerable multi-blade propellers reducing mass and increasing overall reliability of power equipment installed on amphibious vehicles.
• High abradant resistance. Full absence of abrasive wear in the course of operation in conditions of rain and snow.
• High strength and tenacity in case of foreign objects intrusion into propeller.

• Despite of higher cost in comparison with propellers made of fiber-glass plastic (2 times approximately), operational life is 48 times longer in comparison with them. This makes them more economically efficient particularly in the course of intensive use.
• More effective thrust characteristics provide for fuel efficiency improvement of a vehicle.
• High maintainability. Possibility of full recovery of initial state after long-term usage.
• Simple balancing. It is carried out by way of grinding of rougher blade.
• Blades do not decompose; ironing of propeller blade does not fall compared to propellers made of fiber-glass plastic.
• Possibility of more qualitative propeller quality control in its manufacturing by way of ultrasonic control and simple measuring of geometric parameters. Stability of characteristics and simple incoming quality control of a material used.
• Manufacturing of propellers almost of aircraft materials and under aircraft technologies provides for its high-rated thrust and operational characteristics.

You can find our products on the following websites:

http://aeroboat.ru - airboat "Typhoon" various modifications.

http://dvsubaru.ru - power equipment, designed to operate with a propeller made on the basis of TOYOTA car engines made in Japan.

Main types of products of the enterprise are not produced anywhere else in Russia.

20 people are involved in production.

Products of the enterprise are supplied throughout Russia, and also had been exported to Kazakhstan, Moldova, Mongolia, China, Laos and Sudan.

More than 1,500 reduction gears, more than 600 units of power equipment, more than 300 various versions of airboats “Typhoon” and more than 50 small size vessels for various purposes were produced to date.

Among the customers there are individuals, business companies and public sector customers. Airboats are used for guarding of reserve areas, and used by border guard services and rescue services throughout Russia.
Fishery schooners manufactured by the enterprise are frequently used for coastal fishing by fishermen of Sakhalin and Kamchatka.

Power equipment and gearboxes are installed serially on amphibious vehicles of several manufacturers of air-cushion vessels, airboats and air-vessels in Russia: Torex (Saratov - amphibians “Patrul”), Amfibiynaya tekhnika (Nizhny Novgorod - ACV (air-cushion vessel) “Slavir”), Rechnoy Vnedorozhnik (Irkutsk - air-vessels “Piraniya”), Dialan (Arkhangelsk - airboats “Dvina”), Sirius Christy Hovercraft (Saint-Petersburg - ACV), Kurs-Aero (Irkutsk - air-vessels “Kasatka”) and others.

In practice, cyclical turnaround is implemented at the production site, beginning from technical documentation elaboration and finishing by delivery trials of products.
