Abstract

To design a multicopter, first of all, a designer has to select proper components to assemble a multicopter to meet the performance requirements, such as hover endurance, system efficiency, maximum payload, maximum pitch angle, and maximum flight distance.

Fußnoten
1
The multicopter stays fixed in the air, and relatively static to the ground.
 
2
The maximum throttle case is an extreme case of a multicopter, in which motors are at full throttle state and the propellers have the maximum thrust.
 
3
Here, system efficiency is the ratio of the propeller output power and the battery power at full throttle state.
 
5
A more accurate model can be referred to [13, 14], which is nonlinear.
 
6
This equation is obtained by curve fitting from our CFD results. It can be changed to another form according to the relationship of \(C_{\text {D}}\) and \(\theta \).
