    Performance Analysis of a Drone Propeller by Analytical and Numerical Methods
    Kaspapettai Kuppusamy, Naveen; Szodrai, Ferenc; DE--Műszaki Kar
    This study focuses on calculation the aerodynamic forces of a small quadcopter propeller under hovering conditions, which is vital for drones used in Industry 4.0 applications like photogrammetry and facility inspection in automotive production. The research analyzes a straight tri-blade propeller with a NACA 0012 airfoil using analytical methods (momentum and blade element theories) and numerical simulations (ANSYS CFX with RANS method). The analytical model predicts a thrust of 1.2519 N, which is validated by simulation results showing a thrust of 1.3604 N, with an 8.67% difference, confirming the model's accuracy. These findings shows the particality of optimizing small drone propellers using combined analytical and numerical approaches. The study contributes to advancing drone designs for real-time, flexible production processes and digital twin creation in the automotive industry.
