Implication

Randomized trial examines propulsion torque effects on UAV take-off, indicating improved flight performance.

Key Points

  • The aim is to investigate how to balance motor torque during take-off in an X-tail UAV for optimal flight performance.
  • Characterized brushless direct current motor through experimental testing.
  • Evaluated five different propeller types for maximum power and rotational speed.
  • Conducted wind tunnel tests to validate propulsion performance at various airspeeds.
  • The 18×11-inch propeller reached 6,390 revolutions per minute at peak power, providing the best thrust-torque balance.
  • Wind tunnel tests confirmed strong agreement with theoretical predictions for propulsion performance.
  • Defined minimum take-off speeds as a function of altitude for various UAV masses, supporting propulsion optimization.
