Never thought about the durability aspect! I wonder how easily one could fold over one of those ribbons. I know with mine if I just nick something, it makes me sick to my stomach (and I only spend a few hundred on customization lol!

One good thing a rock could just go right through the middle and no damage. 😂😂
I personally could never see a alum prop like this stay true. I'm in oh crap moments way too much for that.

Huh..... I didn't catch that it was aluminum. I wouldn't even consider one just because of that

The really cheap one is aluminum and the not so highly priced one is stainless.

Yeah pretty disappointed in the pricing because it is very cool tech, but I can’t think of one non-commercial application for it at that price point.

Just think how much a 10ft diameter one would cost 🤔

They sell to the cruise and container ship market, those are more like 30-40’ in diameter, so I figure you can add a couple zeros to that $9000. Honestly, for those applications it’s probably an acceptable price since those ships are in service so long the fuel savings alone would probably get them the ROI.
