As Quadcopters (e.g. drones) are proliferating, they are performing various tasks ranging from law enforcement, medical emergencies to delivery services. Recently, drones have become a subject of significant interest due to their potential utilization in modern society from merchandise delivery to traffic monitoring and medical responders. The purpose of this research was to study and document specific characteristics a drone possesses (e.g. its maximum speed). This study focused on a typical quadcopter propulsion system, which consists of a set of four propellers. The propeller was cut, photographed and placed into a CAD software package to obtain its geometry. The airfoil shape was analyzed in XFLR5, an open source computational package. A blade element code, based on the Glauert Vortex Theory and the results from XFLR5 were developed to predict the propulsive thrust. This code was also compared with test data from the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) for accuracy. Static thrust tests were carried out for the quadcopter. Although a dynamic test of the drone was attempted, possible turbulence and excessive system vibration hindered the acquisition of reliable results. The drone was modeled using Newton's second law in conjunction with measured values to obtain thrust and speed results. The code written to predict the propeller thrust was notable to account for static thrust completely. The quadcopter drag coefficients are encouraging for the quadcopter as an air vehicle.
