10x6 Drone Propeller

10x6 Composite Plastic Drone Propeller

The 10x6 Drone Propeller is a two-bladed propeller model designed for medium-sized multirotors, mapping drones, small-class agricultural drones, and custom-built VTOL platforms. With a 10-inch diameter and 6-inch pitch, it offers a balanced performance between lift, flight speed, and energy consumption.

Manufactured from high-strength composite plastic, the propeller provides advantages such as low vibration, stable flight, and quiet operation. It can be used on various multirotor aircraft with CW and CCW rotation options.

In the 10x6 propeller size, the first value indicates the diameter of the propeller, and the second value indicates the pitch:

10 inches: Approximately 254 mm propeller diameter
6 inches: Approximately 152 mm theoretical advance distance
The 10-inch diameter helps the propeller create a wide airflow. The 6-inch pitch creates a balanced operating characteristic between lift and forward flight performance.

Thanks to these features, 10x6 twin-blade propellers are preferred not only in hobbyist systems but also in unmanned aerial vehicles used in professional tasks such as mapping, exploration, surveillance, and search and rescue.

Which Drones Use 10x6 Propellers?
10x6 composite plastic propellers can be used in medium-sized electric drones, provided the motor and power system are compatible. While they can be preferred in some platforms with a total take-off weight of up to 7-10 kg, the actual payload capacity varies depending on the number of motors, battery system, body structure, and payload.

The main areas of application are:

Small-class agricultural spraying drones
Mapping and photogrammetry drones
Industrial reconnaissance and inspection systems
Power line and infrastructure inspection drones
Search and rescue aircraft
Hobby and professional multicopters
Custom-made quadcopter, hexacopter, and octocopter systems
Some VTOL platforms capable of vertical take-off and landing
Lightweight camera and sensor-carrying UAV systems
10x6 propellers are suitable for platforms with much larger motor and body structures than small racing drones. Using them with small FPV motors with high KV values ​​may cause overcurrent and overheating.

Compatible Motor Classes
10x6 drone propellers are generally used with high-torque brushless motors with low to medium KV values. Common motor classes include:

2814
3110
3508
3510
3515
3520
4006
4008
Motor selection should not be based solely on physical dimensions. The propeller chart, maximum current rating, operating voltage, and ESC capacity recommended by the motor manufacturer must be checked.

Approximate Performance Values
The approximate thrust values ​​that can be obtained depending on the motor and battery combination are as follows:

3508 700 KV motor and 4S battery: Approximately 1.2 kg thrust
3510 700 KV motor and 4S battery: Approximately 1.4 kg thrust
3515 650 KV motor and suitable 6S system: Approximately 1.8 kg thrust
These values ​​are not a guarantee of consistent performance. Actual results may vary depending on motor brand, ESC settings, battery voltage, altitude, air temperature, and propeller geometry. Especially in 6S applications, it should be verified that the motor and ESC support this voltage.
