  Abstract: Conventionally, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and autonomous aerial vehicles (AAVs) utilize bladed propellers to produce lift, altitude, and thrust for propulsion. Yet, these blades are susceptible to abrasion when they contact external surfaces, resulting in diminished operational efficiency over time. Our ongoing investigation introduces a pioneering approach by integrating bladeless propeller technology, drawing inspiration from Dyson’s Bladeless Fan Theory. This study seeks to address the wear-related shortcomings of conventional propeller …
