Abstract
A model for Micro Air Vehicles (MAV) propeller performance evaluation is proposed and investigated. This model is derived on the basis of simple analytical relationships and is examined on a set of experimental data. It allows to predict the main propeller characteristics (for example, thrust coefficient, power coefficient, efficiency as functions of advanced ratio) and gives the method for investigation of the powerplant as whole at the stage of preliminary design.
