Propellers are the predominant propulsion source for small unmanned aerial vehicles. At
low advance ratios, large sections of the propeller blade can be stalled, and the Reynolds …

Many Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (SUAV) are driven by small scale, fixed blade
propellers. Flow produced by the propeller can have a significant impact on the …

One direction for continuing improvement in Small Unmanned Air Vehicle (SUAV)
performance is increase of the propulsive system efficiency. As most SUAVs are propeller …

The increasing use of unmanned aerial vehicles and micro air vehicles creates a strong
demand for the accurate aerodynamic performance of small-diameters fixed-pitch …

Purpose–The purpose of this paper is to develop a physics-based model for UAV propellers
that is capable of predicting all aerodynamic forces and moments in any general forward …

Aircraft propellers in any flight condition other than pure axial flight are subject to an incident
flowfield that gives rise to time-varying forces. Means of modelling these time-dependent …

Rotary wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have seen tremendous growth in
deployments over the past decade. With their vertical take off and landing, as well as hover …
