Abstract:
Abstract: Unmanned aerial vehicles, UAV, has increases in the drastically in these past several years because of their reliability, cost effectiveness and multi-functionality. Stage, research has been made on quadcopter by worldwide researchers. The 3D model of propeller blade of the drone was created using CATIA with dimension. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software is used in this project to analyze the effect of different shape of propeller. There are 3 type of propeller that used in this project which is normal propeller, bullhorn propeller and hybrid bullhorn propeller. The focus of this project is to study and identify the best propeller design for specific drone which is DJI Phantom
3. There is certain parameter is kept constant which are the velocity of the wind, the propeller shape and the RPM of the propeller. The data will be collected to make
comparison between the type of design. The best design will be chosen based on good in lift and drag coefficient. These data will be compared among of three propellers to know which one has the best performance.
