22.2x7.2 Foldable Drone Propeller

22.2x7.2 Foldable Drone Propeller

The 22.2x7.2 Foldable Drone Propeller is a large-diameter propeller solution developed for professional multicopters, industrial UAV platforms, and custom-built drones targeting long flight times. With a diameter of 22.2 inches and a pitch of 7.2 inches, this model offers approximately 563.9 mm in diameter and 182.9 mm in pitch (metric measurements). Its foldable design facilitates transport and storage, while the composite plastic and epoxy composite materials combine low weight with high rigidity.

22.2x7.2 Drone Propeller Technical Specifications
According to the manufacturer, the propeller measures 22.2x7.2 inches, and the material is composite plastic and epoxy composite. The weight of a single blade is approximately 69 grams. The recommended operating range is 2,500–4,800 RPM, and the stated structural thrust limit is 11.5 kg. The operating temperature range is specified as -40 °C to +65 °C. The recommended storage temperature is between -10°C and +50°C, and the storage humidity is below 85%. The product can be supplied as a pair with CW and CCW rotation directions.

The special winglet design helps reduce air vortices at the propeller tip and allows for more controlled airflow direction. The foldable wings close towards the drone arms after operation, allowing the aircraft to take up less space during transport. Some product variants are manufactured with a standard mounting hub, while others use a push-type quick-connect mechanism. The propeller hub, mounting holes, and motor mounting system should be checked before purchasing.

Which Drones is it Used With?
The 22.2x7.2 foldable propeller is used in professional drone systems with compatible motors, ESCs, batteries, and mounting hubs. It should not be considered a universal replacement propeller for a specific, ready-made drone model.

The main areas of application are:

Professional multirotors with four, six, or eight engines
Mapping and photogrammetry drones
Power line and infrastructure inspection UAVs
Professional camera-carrying cinelifter drones
Medium-class payload platforms
Search and rescue and surveillance drones
Industrial UAVs targeting long flight times
Custom-built VTOL and multirotor platforms
T-Motor states that similar engine systems can be used in professional multirotor, VTOL, mapping, surveying, aerial photography, and search and rescue applications.

For the T-Motor HEP-L 22x7.2 propeller in the same size class, it is recommended to use the MN6007 II KV320 engine with a 6S system and the MN6007 II KV160 engine with a 12S system. This combination is listed with a recommended takeoff weight of approximately 7 kg on a four-engine platform. However, this information pertains to the HEP-L series. The compatibility of the FA22.2x7.2 foldable propeller must be confirmed by checking the motor test table and mounting hub.

Advantages of Foldable Composite Plastic Fiber Propellers
The composite plastic fiber composite structure helps the propeller blades maintain their shape under load thanks to its high stiffness-to-weight ratio. The foldable mechanism provides advantages in transportation, maintenance, and storage. The CW and CCW set structure offers mounting possibilities suitable for counter-rotating motor configurations in multi-motor drones.

The large diameter and low pitch structure can be preferred in professional UAV projects aiming for balanced lift, controlled motor response, and efficient cruising. Actual flight performance varies depending on the motor KV value, battery voltage, total takeoff weight, ESC capacity, and environmental conditions.
