Power minimization on fixed-pitch coaxial rotors

Abstract: Fixed-pitch coaxial, contrarotating rotors are often used in large multirotor aircraft in applications ranging from payload delivery to urban air mobility. This presentation will examine the potential of minimizing net hover power at a given thrust for a coaxial pair using both an analytical approach and experimental results. The problem analyzed here serves as an […]
