摘要
Using a suitable propulsion system for Drones capable of obtaining desired performance is one of the primary goals for designing electric multicopters. Choosing the right components for the electric system: Motor, ESC, battery, rotor (propeller) is always challenging because of the diversity of and misleading information on these products on the market. By studying specifications brought by manufacturers and experimental data, the relationship of the components in the propulsion system is given and parameterized. This paper presents a method to size the electric propulsion system for design and manufacturing a multicopter that is able to handle mission requirements. The sensitivity of design parameters to GTOW is given. An Agriculture Quadcopter is built and compared to the results of sizing and the difference stays within +/- 4% for gross take-off weight. The maximum thrust over weight ratio is introduced, and the cut of payload during operation of pesticide spraying is also accounted in the calculation for improvement of sizing the Quadcopter.
