Torson 555mm Carbon Fibre Blades TBO555

Torsion Carbon Fibre 555mm Trex 550 Main Blades

Torsion rotor blades have been designed and tested by one of the worlds leading pilots, Petr Novotný. Suitable for both beginners and 3D pilots, Torsion blades are classified as one of the best on the market, due to its firmness and responsiveness in 3D flight. In hard flight, where larger amounts of collective pitch are required, the unique airfoil and design increase the power and performance of your helicopter in these demanding manoeuvres. Adding to this, the blades provide excellent performance in autorotations, where the blades momentum is retained right until landing.

Torsion Blades are very stiff, with little twist due to the first layer of carbon, laid at 45 degrees. This is laminated to a balsa wood core, to provide exceptional stiffness along the length of the blade. The swept tips are specifically designed to unload the head in manoeuvres requiring lots of power for quick collective and cyclic response, yet also keep the blade noise to a minimum.

Rotor blades Torsion blades are considered to be one of the best rotor blades on the market due to its design and parameters. Suitable for both, beginners and 3D pilots as well, who particularly appreciate its firmness and truculence in 3D naviation. In turns, where bigger pitch angle is necessary, its airfoil and design increase the performance and power. In particular, the most important advantage is an exellent performance in autorotation mode where the required power is retained.

Torsion Blades are continuously developed and recently a number significant improvements were done. Among others the design of all types has been changed as well as a less expensive type of glass fibre blades are new in the programme giving the pilot best parameters for standard acrobatic flight. The surface finish, the balancing and the mechanical resistance of the blades have been greatly improved. The enhancement of the white surface of the blades improved the visibility and allows a better "reading" of the exact position of the helicopter. The carbon fibre blades can be differentiated from the glass fibre blades in that the carbon blades have Petr Novotnys signature below the Torsion Blades logo, while the glass fibre blades are only having the logo. However, all tail rotor blades are made of carbon fibre.
