A Novel Experimental Model and a Drag-Optimal Allocation Method for Variable-Pitch Propellers in Multirotors

This paper proposes a new mathematical model to map the rotational speed and angle of attack (pitch) of small-size propellers typically used in multirotors and the aerodynamic thrust force and drag moment produced by the propeller itself. The new model is inspired by standard models using the blade-...
