| description | The article deals with the experimental investigation of the thrust performance of a twin propeller used in a typical Unmanned Aerial Vehicle. The propeller is fabricated and tested using low speed subsonic wind tunnel to study the performance characteristics. The results obtained show better performance compared to conventional propellers. The presence of twin propeller has increased the stall characteristics at low Reynolds number. The results indicate a substantial increase in thrust generation of up to 25 percent. The payload carrying capacity and handling quality will improve using this technique during pandemic to spray disinfectants. The results obtained provide an alternate design for future propellers applications. Further it is observed that the endurance of the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle can be reduced considerably, by few alternate solution. |
