- The Airmaster design staff include aeronautical, mechanical and electrical engineers. Their combined knowledge and experience ensure that Airmaster propellers are light, strong and give high performance.
- They use the latest computer aided design (CAD) technology (Solidworks TM, a parametric based solids modeller) to minimise development time from concept through prototype to production. Solidworks is used at all stages of design, from concept, through creation of a solid model (giving improved accuracy), development of parts and assemblies, detail drawings, and finally output for our computer controller Mazak Integrex machining centre.

Airmaster manufacturing staff have experience in CNC machine production, prototyping and development, and precision machining.
-
For manufacture of propeller components, Airmaster uses a Mazak Integrex 5 axis Machining centre. The mill/turn capability ensures high speed production with unparalleled quality and accuracy, minimising production time of precision components.
-
Quality control procedures provide separate dimensional checking, ensuring conformity to required standards.

Airmaster flight testing staff put the propeller systems through a rigorous schedule of performance assessment.
-
The company owns a ‘Europa Classic’ aircraft for flight testing, with advanced data collection equipment fitted for analysis of propeller performance. Airmaster selected the ‘Europa Classic’ for its efficient aerodynamics, giving a wide spread of speeds between stall and Vne. This provides a demanding test for the propeller, requiring a big variation in propeller pitch.
-
Our flight Performance Recorder, from Pegasus Technology Inc, includes GPS position monitoring, air data recording and engine parameter monitoring. ATA Flash cards record flight data for transfer to PC for post flight analysis. Pegasus software allows rapid preparation of standard performance graphs from test data.
