Design and Analysis of Quadcopter Frame and Propeller

Quadcopters generally use two pairs of identical fixed pitched propellers; two clockwise (CW) and two counterclockwise (CCW). These use independent variation of the speed of each rotor to achieve control. By changing the speed of each rotor it is possible to specifically generate a desired total thrust; to locate for the centre of thrust both laterally and longitudinally; and to create a desired total torque, or turning force. A quadcopter, also called a quadrotor helicopter or quadrotor, is a multirotor helicopter that is lifted and propelled by four rotors. Battery was used as a power source to run the motors, thereby propellers. Modeling and Analysis are the two important unavoidable steps in manufacturing any component or structure. In this paper we were concentrating on design and analysis of a Quadcopter frame and propeller. The modeling was done by a software, named PTC Creo while the analysis was done using ANSYS. The results obtained were compared with the various properties of frame materials which tell us whether the design made was safe or not.
