Why Airmaster

Airmaster Engineering Excellence

Airmaster specialises in high performance propeller systems where quality comes first. We combine the best composite blade technology with a precise and reliable constant-speed hub system to provide a unique performance enhancement to your aircraft. More>

What are the advantages of a constant-speed propeller?

The Airmaster prop has transformed an aircraft that already performs well into a superior all-rounder.

A constant speed propeller allows you to maximise your aircraft and engine performance in all phases of flight.  More>

Performance Gains

Compared with fixed pitch prop types, you can expect performance gains from the Airmaster propeller of 20%-30% in take-off, 10% in climb, and 15% in cruise. The level of gain achieved in each flight mode depends on how your existing propeller has been set up (that is best for take-off, climb, or cruise).

Taking off on a short runway? You'll want a high RPM for maximum take-off power...

On approach I can come in at a steeper angle and land on the spot every time, reducing circuit time because of the fast climb out and short approach. I operate regularly out of a short one-way strip and the Airmaster propeller has increased my safety margins markedly. More>

Cruising? Your auto controller will now pull the RPM back by increasing the blade angle, making your engine more fuel efficient...

Fuel consumption in cruise mode was significantly decreased. The cabin was quieter, much like a turboprop. More>

Reduces the pilot workload at critical flight phases

When you have to concentrate on a lot of other things, the Airmaster constant speed controller eases the burden by maximising the engine performance, giving you one less thing to worry about.

This propeller behaves impeccably. I really like the simple control system, which reduces pilot workload to an absolute minimum.

Easy to operate

The operation is simple and not unlike changing gears in a car. Just turn the knob and wait for the smooth transition to the next gear.

Our controller is extremely easy to use, even for novice pilots. The pilot simply selects take-off climb or cruise and the controller does the work of adjustin the blade pitch to match the aircraft speed, and keep the engine at an appropriate pre-programmed RPM.

Designed to last

Our units are designed to last the distance. Every individual part of your Airmaster propeller is selected for optimum design and longevity. 

Customisation

Each Airmaster propeller is comprised of five major modules; hub, blade assemblies, extension, spinners, and control system/slipring. Each module can be customised to suit an individual aircraft...

Installation

Our key philosophy is that our system should be able to be installed, operated, and maintained by a competent lay person.

When we fitted the prop we were amazed how well it was all set up from the factory. It was just a case of following the manual with all the pre-set pitch settings already in place. I took it for a circuit and was very happy with the fitment - it was very smooth.

Maintenance and Servicing

Maintenance requirements are set out in the owner's manual. You may undertake your own maintenance or get your LAMIE to do it.

We recommend routine inspections at 25 and 50 hours, then every 100 hours in line with your aircraft maintenance schedule.

The hub has been designed to allow the blades and their retention parts to be removed and re-installed easily. This allows for quick maintenance in the field.

Servicing Support

We have a comprehensive service library and our in-depth manuals cover every aspect of maintenance and servicing. More>

Our Process

Once you confirm an order it goes into production in our factory. Although the main components are held in stock, each propeller is a unique combination of hub, blades, and spinner - we customise the elements that are required for you. This process can take up to one month.

Shipping

We ship by air and this will usually take about one week (subject to local customs clearance).
