In light of a nearly certain total loss of an entire airframe if a propeller blade develops a hairline crack which goes undetected on any model sUAS, are there any corporate UAS programs, Commercial Drone Service providers, or even just individuals who time or cycle limit the propellers of any of their aircraft.
Having worked in manned aircraft maintenence throughout the years where these types of life-limiting metrics had to be tracked and complied with. This would certainly be the case for any part or component which spun as fast as these props during nominal use, represented a single point of failure with no redundancies, and/or the failure of would result in the complete liss off control, the aircraft losing it's capabilities to remain aloft, and would be expected to suffer catastrophic levels of damage to the aircraft.
So, I'm fighting the impulse to start wasting a bunch of these rotar blades!
