The X57 features two very distinct propellers: - High lift propellers: these increase the local airflow speed around the wing, providing it with more lift. They aim for a uniform flow velocity to create a predictable and reliable increase in lift. - Cruise propellers: these are aimed at maximum efficiency and feature a higher axial flow speed at the tips of the propellers
