Description: This unique and highly collectible propeller blade was originally removed during an overhaul from an MQ-9 Reaper Drone, one of the most advanced unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) in the world. The blade has been transformed into a modern piece of art, combining military history with contemporary design. - Propeller Model: 3GFR36C606/110GFA-0 - Blade Model: 110GFA-0 - Serial Number: ADF30015 ( Manufactured in 2009 ) - Blade is 57-1/2 Inches Tall (60 Inches on Base) x 9 Inches Wide - Base is 6-1/2 Inches Tall x 10 Inches Wide The propeller features a scimitar shape, which is characteristic of advanced aviation design, offering both performance and aesthetic appeal. The front face of the blade has been polished to a mirror finish, creating a sleek, reflective surface. The back side retains its original military paint—matte black with golden-yellow tips, just as it appeared on the Reaper. Measuring 57-1/2 inches tall and standing an impressive 60 inches (5 feet) when mounted on its base, this blade is both a historical artifact and a stunning work of art. The blade is securely mounted on a custom Aqua Blue Satin base, which adds an artistic touch to the piece. The base stands 6-1/2 inches tall and 10 inches wide, perfectly complementing the propeller’s curvature. The blade is fastened using the included 3/8-inch bolt and washer, ensuring stability for display. Manufactured by McCauley in 2009, this blade came from one of the earlier three-bladed variations of the MQ-9 Reaper. Its authenticity is verified by the serial number, making it an extraordinary artifact for aviation enthusiasts and military collectors alike. The MQ-9 Reaper, developed by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, is a hunter-killer drone primarily used by the United States military for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) as well as precision strike missions. The Reaper became a key tool in modern warfare, particularly in counterterrorism operations. Unlike its predecessor, the MQ-1 Predator, the Reaper is larger, faster, and equipped with a more powerful payload capacity. The Reaper’s propeller blades, like this one, are designed with a scimitar shape to enhance aerodynamic efficiency, reduce drag, and minimize noise. Powered by a turboprop engine, the MQ-9 can fly for extended periods, reaching altitudes of up to 50,000 feet. It is widely used by the U.S. Air Force, British Royal Air Force, and other allied military forces around the world. Whether you're an aviation collector, military historian, or art enthusiast, this rare piece embodies the convergence of engineering brilliance and aesthetic craftsmanship. Owning this propeller offers a rare opportunity to own a part of the MQ-9 Reaper legacy—a drone that has shaped modern military operations and continues to influence global defense strategies.
