Impact of the Ceiling Effect on Thrust in Quadcopters: Analysis of Ceiling Distance and Rotor Separation in Baseline and Commercial UAVs

Abstract

AbstractThe use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has experienced significant growth in recent years. The versatility and adaptability of multicopter drones make them ideal for operating in challenging environments, which often feature physical obstacles ...The Graphical Abstract consists of two sections. The first section shows the comparison between experimental measurements and CFD simulations for a simplified drone setup placed near the ceiling. The second section illustrates the CFD-based investigation ...Practical ApplicationsDrones are being increasingly used in various fields, from delivery services to environmental monitoring. Understanding their performance in different environments is crucial for safe and efficient operation. Drones often operate in ...
