An innovative blend of technology and nature, the Propeller Blades for ANAFI Ai Drone are designed using principles of biomimicry. These bio-inspired propeller blades feature a leading edge that mirrors the shape of humpback whale fins, enhancing propulsive efficiency and increasing thrust at the same rotation speed. This unique design is akin to expanding the rotor diameter, providing superior performance and efficiency. Notably, these propeller blades also contribute to a quieter drone operation. The ANAFI Ai Drone, equipped with these blades, registers a lower acoustic noise level of 71.5 dBSPL (A) at 1 m, compared to the Skydio 2's 76.4 dBSP (A) at 1 m.
This reduction in tonal noise, particularly from the leading edge, makes the ANAFI Ai Drone a more discreet choice for aerial photography and videography. In terms of performance, these propeller blades enable a flight time of over 32 minutes and a top speed of 17 m/s (61 km/h) in forward flight. They also support a speed of 16 m/s (58 km/h) in lateral and backward flight, thanks to the optimized aerodynamic performance of the drone body and the ANAFI Ai powerplant. The Propeller Blades for ANAFI Ai Drone also offer impressive wind resistance of 12.7 m/s (45km/h).
Furthermore, they facilitate a range of 22.5 km at 14 m/s without wind, a testament to the high efficiency of the motor/propeller torque and the high autonomy of the battery. In summary, the Propeller Blades for ANAFI Ai Drone are a perfect blend of innovative design and high performance, offering enhanced efficiency, quieter operation, and superior flight capabilities.
