Quieter Quadcopter Propellers: Aerodynamic and Acoustic Trade-Offs of Toroidal Designs

2026-06-29

Abstract excerpt

This study analyses the aerodynamic and acoustic trade-offs of toroidal quadcopter propellers using variants derived from the APC 10×5 design to guide mission-specific adoption in next-generation quadcopters. Three configurations, namely a two-loop elliptical, a two-loop circular, and a three-loop circular design, were evaluated through CFD simulations. Static thrust tests on a thrust stand validated the CFD model...
