The CFRP propeller exhibited the same, if not superior, strength to the aluminum-bronze composite materials used in conventional propellers. The blades of the propeller have been designed with a diameter similar to the wings of a Boeing 787 aircraft.
The propeller was developed and produced by Nakashima Propeller with support from ClassNK, which granted approval for the design and manufacturing process of the propeller, and provided research and funding support for the project as part of the ClassNK Joint R&D for Industry Program.
