In the modern aviation environment, research on unmanned aerial vehicles is attractive in many aspects. Integrating efficient propellers into the unmanned aerial vehicle structure helps to enhance the performance factors such as endurance, range, distance to take-off and payload carrying capacity. This paper numerically investigates the configured propeller blades to enhance aerodynamic efficiency and performance parameters. The design parameters such as diameter, pitch, number of blades, and blade shape were configured with highly efficient propellers. The E62 airfoil opted to configure bi-blade, tri-blade, and modified nozzle-shaped ducted propellers and subjected to a computational fluid dynamic process for the varying rotational velocity. The thrust component, lift, drag and aerodynamic efficiency of the propeller blades were studied for the different operating speeds. The performance of E62 airfoil-based propeller was more efficient whereas the ducted blade profile generates the maximum thrust of 7.07N at the maximum angular velocity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
