The key feature of the Ballistic propeller is its highly efficient power tip and tapered leading edge. This design gives Ballistic the thin leading edge blade performance of racing style propellers while maintaining strength and thickness over the rest of the blade. The power tip and blade cup combine to deliver improved bite and reduce power loss caused by cavitation.
Performance Features in Every Ballistic Prop
Ballistic props offer innovative, performance-enhancing features:
|
Optimized power tip for peak efficiency; blade tip and cup combine to improve bite and reduce power losses- caused by cavitation |
Tapered leading edge minimizes drag, provides perfonnance characteristics of racing style props while maintaining optimum blade strength and thickness |
|
|
High luster mirror finish adds appeal and enhances corrosion resistance |
One-piece investment cast construction from 15-5ph stainless steel, the ideal material for strength and corrosion resistance |
|
|
Shock-absorbing hub prevents damage to gears and shaft caused by shifting and prop impact |
Use of standard OEM hub geometry simplifies installation, repair and replacement |
|
|
Highly cambered blade sections provide for higher speed and better bow lift |
Blades are hand balanced during finishing to assure consistency and minimize vibration |
13-inch models feature solid-cast flared hub to prevent performance loss from ventilation
V-6 Series
14-inch models with high pitch (21", 23" and 25") have a vented hub design that allows the engine to come up
to speed and get on plane quickly
