Abstract

Investigated is the ability of the usage of small height ducted fans in multicopters for increase in the hover time and protecting the propellers and surrounding. A set of numerical and experimental investigations concerning duct aerodynamics and efficiency of electrical part (drive, speed controller, accumulator) was conducted. The effects of interference between two ducted fans situated close to each other are also investigated.
