Investigation of Rotor Efficiency with Varying Rotor Pitch Angle for a Coaxial Drone

Coaxial rotor systems are appealing for multirotor drones, as they increase thrust without increasing the vehicle’s footprint. However, the thrust of a coaxial rotor system is reduced compared to having the rotors in line. It is of interest to increase the efficiency of coaxial systems, both to exte...
