A Review on Design and Flow Analysis of Quadcopter Propellers
Abstract: The quadcopter is a complex system in which propeller blades, aerodynamics, and structural behavior are tightly interlinked. Changing a small detail, such as blade angle or material, can significantly affect performance parameters like thrust and efficiency, as well as the drone's vibrations and stability in flight. Because quadcopters typically operate at Reynolds numbers between roughly 20,000 and 150,000, propeller theories developed for full-scale aircraft often fail to translate directly, making …
