Investigation of Rotor Efficiency with Varying Rotor Pitch Angle for a Coaxial Drone
Coaxial rotor systems are appealing for multirotor drones, as they increase thrust without increasing the vehicle’s footprint. However, the thrust of a coaxial rotor system is reduced compared to having the rotors in line.
