Abstract
The composition of a multicopter system is both simple and complex. This chapter aims to introduce the composition of multicopter systems and performance modeling of a propulsion system by using three step-by-step experiments from shallow to deep, namely a basic experiment, an analysis experiment, and a design experiment. In the basic experiment, readers can configure propulsion systems and understand the function of a propulsion system on flight performance. In the analysis experiment, readers can calculate the hover endurance, and analyze the hover endurance with respect to temperature, altitude, propeller size, and the number of propellers.
