Motor Evaluation -Minimum required values to complete the mission Power = 125W Thrust at climb = 3.36 lbf Thrust at turn = 2.80 lbf -Run motor test code using the motor constants supplied by the manufacturer.
Motor code -Values input into the code For Motor Vin = voltage * cell # Motor constants – Kt, Kv, Rm, Io Inet = Iin-Io Pin= Vin*Iin Tout=Kt*Inet Pout=Inet*(Vin-Iin*Rm) RPM= Kv*(Vin-Iin*Rm)
Motor Code Eta=Pout/Pin Istall = Vin/Rm Imax= sqrt(Io^2*Istall) Etamax= ((Imax-Io)/Imax)^2 For Gearbox: given values-gear ratio (m), Eta g RPM g =RPM/m Pout g = Pout/Eta g For Speed Controller: given value-Resistance(R) Pd = Iin^2*R
Motor code Pin sp =Pout B =Pin+Pd Pout sp =Pin Eta sp = Pout sp / Pin sp -Choose the best motor based on Power output and Efficiency. -Select optimal condition

Propeller Analysis Tool : modified Gold script Method : Run at various diameters and pitches Match Power and Thrust Get value for J = V/nD, Cp, and Ct Calculate Power from Battery P B = Pr/(Eta s *Eta m *Eta g *Eta p ) Calculate Energy required for Battery E = P B *t
Propeller Analysis P B from Motor Code >= P B from Calculation E est = P B *2min. + 3/4*P B *10min. <= E
