Regarding the Use of Finite Element Modeling for Propulsion System Sizing in V.T.O.L. Drones

Abstract

At the moment, VTOL drones have proven their efficiency in several areas, for this reason, they have become indispensable tools for a large category of applications. This paper presents aspects related to the dimensioning stage of the propulsion system of a drone based on finite element modeling, to establish the traction force necessary to ensure sustentation.
