Abstract
It is undeniable fact that the importance of drones has increased in every aspect of the daily life such as Defense, Military, Agriculture, Film shooting, Disaster management and many more Good Design of a propeller plays a crucial part in efficiency, vibration and stability of drone in mid-air. With advancements in design, manufacturing technologies and techniques, it is lot easier to manufacture complex design. One such complex design in drone propeller is its blade. The main objective of this paper is to analyses thrust forces, pressure distribution, viscous coefficient and pressure coefficient by considering various aero foil shapes for the blades in addition to changing the number of blades. Also, material used for the blade is changed. CATIA V5 Modelling Software is used for creating geometric models of drone propeller. Ansys fluent is used for CFD analysis of drone propeller in Ansys 19.2 software version. Aluminum and Carbon Fiber material is used. Finally, after performing CFD analysis Aluminum material has obtained more thrust force than carbon fiber material. Irrespective of material used, the maximum pressure obtained is less than their material strength.
