1- GLORIEUSE : Technical Data
✗ 3-blade propellers, in-flight variable pitch system (Constant Speed), the lighest on the market
✗ For Rotax 912, 912S, 912ULS, 912iS, 914, 915iS & 916iS engines
✗ For tractor aircraft only (for pusher aircraft, under development)
✗ Hydraulic actuator with electronic management: the robustness of the hydraulic actuator and the precision of the electronics
✗ For all Rotax: configuration 2 (electric and fixed pitch) and configuration 3 (hydraulic).
✗ Ultra-fast regulation: max pitch / min pitch in less than 3 seconds, without jerks or speed variations
✗ Safety stops min. pitch / max. pitch
✗ Pitch variation: max. range 16° (20° in option)
✗ Available in 7 different diameters: from 160 to 190 cm / from 63 to 74,8 inch
(today, for Rotax 916iS, only max diameter 175 cm / 68.8 inch is available - bigger diameters are coming soon)
✗ For gear-drive engines (on a Rotax 9xx base) up to 185 hp
✗ Max RPM at propeller = 2.600
✗ Moment of inertia : 2.600 kg.cm² (for the 170 cm diameter)
✗ Total weight: 3-blade propeller + governor + regulator + spinner = only 4 kg / 8,8 lb
✗ Very strong : 100% carbon, very high fibers ratio, RTM Manufacturing
✗ Carbon propellers with Titanium leading edge
✗ Compliant with ASTM F2506-13. EASA CS-P coming soon.
✗ TBO = 2000 hrs
GLORIEUSE range: the lightest Constant Speed propellers in the world
GLORIEUSE and reliability:
✗ no cyclic loading on aluminium components = no cracks
✗ no bearing = no jamming
✗ no lubricant = no leakage

The design of the GLORIEUSE variable pitch propeller blade is very aesthetic, and above all it reduces the pitch control efforts. This allowed E-Props to realize a low pressure hydraulic control (2 bars), thus to lighten the whole control system, with a small cylinder (diameter 50 mm).
GLORIEUSE : the best performance on Rotax engines, by far.
How is this possible ? Thanks to the characteristics of carbon fibers, to the efficient RTM manufacturing process and of course the extensive calculations and tests of Jérémie Buiatti (designer of the E-Props propellers). 5 years and 4 successive versions of Glorieuse, to achieve an outstanding range of Constant Speed propellers.
2- PRICES
The E-PROPS Glorieuse propeller is supplied with all the necessary accessories: spacer, complete governor, regulator (instrument or potentiometer or Single Lever), spinner and blade protection covers.
An assembly tool kit is also included in the package.
No other components are required for assembly and adjustment of the Glorieuse propeller.
Compatible accessories:
