Jörg 29 Report post Posted February 3, 2017 Hi, There have been several requests for more information about rotor blade design. For this purpose, I would like to direct you to this drone blade design blog post which comes with some very nice animations. For the design of these kinds of blades, you can either define custom parametric sections, or use data from an airfoil data base. Parametric winglets can also be designed and attached to the blade. Feel free to post more detailed questions about drone blade design into this forum post. CheersJoerg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jörg 29 Report post Posted April 13, 2017 Here is another animation of a recent drone propeller: The goal of setting up this variable CAESES model has been to use it for automated shape optimization of the blade, together with CFD. Note that the changes in this animation are a bit too extreme, just to give you a better idea of the different shape parameters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
