HYBRID DRONES WITH DUCTED AND ASYMMETRIC PROPELLERS: EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES AND APPLICATION PROSPECTS
This article presents a comprehensive analysis of hybrid unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) equipped with ducted and asymmetric propellers. The results of experimental studies confirm the advantages of using these types of propellers regarding aerodynamic efficiency, energy efficiency, noise reduction, and improved maneuverability. The possibility of combining asymmetric propellers with ducted designs, as well as their impact on thrust, flight stability, and other flight characteristics of drones, is examined in detail.
