Unravelling the Thrust of Carbon Fibre Drone Propeller for Optimal Flight Time
摘要
In the context of addressing global food insecurity amidst population growth, effective environmental monitoring is vital. Balancing agricultural production and ecological sustainability necessitates innovative strategies. Pest repellents have emerged as a sustainable solution for managing pests in agriculture, providing an alternative to conventional pesticides. Integration of drone technology with acoustical pest-repellent systems offers the potential to revolutionize pest control, safeguard crops, and enhance agricultural productivity. However, achieving optimal drone performance encounters challenges, notably in propeller selection. This study employs a structured experimental approach to investigate the intricate relationships among propeller diameter, current consumption, and thrust, unveiling insights for drone configuration. The research demonstrates that the optimal flight time possible to achieve by harnessing relationship of Battopt(Thrusteq) = GTOW(Ampeq). By comprehending this equation, a proper gross takeoff weight (GTOW) of one drone would unveiling the specific use of propeller size and battery capacity for optimal flight time.
