A small-scale UAV propeller optimization by using ant colony algorithm

UAVs are designed to create lift in the same direction as rotation axis, hence propellers one of most basic components propulsion. Although several previous propeller optimization techniques have been developed, they usually find optimal thrust coefficient at a constant power and vice versa. This research will combine values optimum lowest time. A Simple Blade Element Theory served foundation for all assumptions.This article examined over 80 various designs, brands, types two-blade configuration with diameters ranging from 2.5 19 inches varying pitch values. The data baseline was obtained UIUC Propeller Database. inputs type, diameter, angle, rotational speed, coefficient, coefficient. results show that by determining factor interest algorithm can specifications. When is 100%, ignore effect
