The objective of the proposed study is to develop a rotor design and analysis method that is suitable for small multirotor aerial vehicles, such as quadcopters. The subsequent method will result in rotor systems with improved flight performance, such as endurance or high-speed flight characteristics. Although multirotor aerial vehicles are often chosen as remote sensing platforms because of their relative ease to control at hover, control becomes complex during high-speed or maneuvering flight. The challenges of reliable flight controls is due to the nonlinear aerodynamic response typical for small scales and due to the interaction of the flow fields of several rotors in close proximity.
