Study on the Response Characteristics of a Quadcopter for Various Propeller Configurations
摘要
In recent years, quadcopters have become popular. Due to many advantages of the quadcopter, it is used widely in military and commercial applications. It consists of four propellers to produce thrust and achieve flight. In this study, an attempt is made to obtain the response characteristics of a quadcopter for different propeller configurations. A series of thrust produced by each propeller configuration is obtained using CFD analysis in Ansys workbench. The obtained thrust coefficient is given as an input to the Simulink model and the response characteristics results are drawn.
