E-Props was created in 2008 by three aviation enthusiasts. The three original team members have grown to 34 in the company. "We have just hired a sales manager in charge of propellers for aircraft, and a chief pilot for the flight tests of our propellers and other equipment," reported CEO Anne Lavrand.

E-Props is quartered in an ultra-modern facility of 2.200 square meters (24,000 square feet) on Sisteron airfield (LFNS) in Provence, France. The company has local representatives in numerous countries.

"Our 100%-Carbon propellers with Titanium leading edge protection for aircraft are designed and manufactured in France, and are innovative and very efficient,” expressed company leader Anne Lavrand, General Manager and President of E-Props."

"Seeing things differently, shaking up the obvious, not stopping at existing concepts and ready-made ideas, exploring new avenues, constantly inventing, imagining, exploring, creating, innovating and innovating again to offer aeronautical products that are always more efficient and safer …this is what leads the E-Props team," added Anne.

Currently, the range of E-Props propellers for aircraft is proposed for gear-drive engines (especially Rotax). The range for direct-drive engines is under development and will be available when production preparation is complete.

A few numbers show the output of this innovative company that makes efficient adjustable pitch propellers.
