    Exploring Moment of Inertia & Angular Acceleration for Drone Propellers

    Thank you! That helped a lot with understanding it but the wired article is very vague on how it relates to the propellers. Do you have any other links or if you know how please could you explain how it relates to propellers. (Sorry for my lack of knowledge I'm only in Year 12/Grade 11 so this...

    Exploring Moment of Inertia & Angular Acceleration for Drone Propellers

    Hi, I am building a drone for a school project and I am also looking into how it flies. Recently I have been looking into angular momentum, torque, moment of inertia and angular acceleration. However I am struggling to understand moment of inertia and angular acceleration. If possible please...

    Need some help with Bernoulli's principle and how it applies to a drone

    I apologize if this isn't what it's typically used for but I don't really know anything about it yet. I'm not really looking to use calculations, I'm just researching into how lift is generated by the propellers of a drone.

    Need some help with Bernoulli's principle and how it applies to a drone

    Hi there, I am building a drone for a school project and I am looking at physics behind how it flies. I stumbled upon Bernoulli's principle and the Coanda effect but I am struggling to find out how it can apply to the rotors of a drone. I understand the primary aspect of as the fluid's speed...

    The Physics of Drone Flight: Exploring Control Mechanisms

    I am trying to focus on primarily simple concepts relating to it. So far from my research I am looking at focusing on three main aspects of the flight 1) Climbing 2)Hovering 3)Forward/General motion (and possibly control of the drone that FactChecker talked about above). This may change as I...

    The Physics of Drone Flight: Exploring Control Mechanisms

    So far I haven't done a huge amount of research, I have found multiple papers but I've only started using one. https://homepages.abdn.ac.uk/nph120/meteo/DroneFlight.pdf . Apologies for this but I talked to my teacher and he told me I don't necessarily need hypotheses, I just need to focus on the...

    The Physics of Drone Flight: Exploring Control Mechanisms

    If this is less broad (I don't know much about this stuff so please tell me if I need to explain more), I am asking for help with my hypotheses that are related to drone flight, such as any laws/principles of physics or maths that are associated with the flight and that I could somehow measure...

    The Physics of Drone Flight: Exploring Control Mechanisms

    Now this may be quite an odd request but would it be possible for any of you to give me an insight into drone/quadcopter flight. I am building a drone for my school project and I am also focusing on the flight of it. I have found papers on drone flight however I am struggling to come up with any...
