Aerodine Composites (Indianapolis, Ind., U.S.) has expanded its composite propeller capabilities for unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), which are engineered for precision, performance and defense-grade compliance.

Aerodine’s propellers are designed to meet the evolving demands of modern unmanned aviation, enhancing endurance, hover stability, stealth and payload agility. Each propeller is aerodynamically optimized for lift, drag, noise reduction and thrust efficiency across diverse mission profiles, the company reports — including hover, cruise and mixed-use operations. Manufactured from high-strength composite materials with specialized surface treatments, Aerodine propellers offer optimized resistance to abrasion, UV exposure and corrosion for long-term reliability. Advanced airfoil designs and tip geometries reduce acoustic signatures, enhancing stealth performance for defense and surveillance missions.

All propellers are fully ITAR-compliant and manufactured in the U.S. using traceable, domestically sourced materials, critical for Department of Defense programs and Blue UAS certification. Aerodine supports customers from prototype to production, with scalable manufacturing capacity ranging from one-off development units to more than 2,000 units per month. Each propeller is delivered flight-ready with precision balancing, erosion-resistant coatings, static discharge management and optional low-observable or custom finishes. Customers also benefit from Aerodine’s full-service engineering support, from reverse engineering and build-to-print production to mission-specific design optimization.

With decades of composites expertise across aerospace, defense, motorsports, medical and industrial markets, Aerodine is positioned as a trusted partner for unmanned systems. The company holds AS9100D, ISO 9001:2015 and FAA Part 145 certifications, ensuring precision, traceability and operational reliability. Aerodine says its adaptable engineering model integrates seamlessly with customer workflows, while its scalable operations and agile R&D partnerships make it a mission-critical supplier where failure is not an option.

“Our UAS/UAV propellers embody everything Aerodine is known for — precision-engineered performance, defense-grade compliance and scalable U.S. manufacturing,” says Craig McCarthy, CEO of Aerodine Composites. “In unmanned systems, mission success hinges on reliability, stealth and adaptability. This offering delivers all three, backed by decades of composites excellence and trusted partnerships.”
