Russian students from the engineering team "Mikser" have developed a lightweight and durable propeller for unmanned aerial vehicles. The development was carried out as part of the federal project "Personnel for UAS", which is supervised by University 2035. The training took place at the Center for Continuing Education of Bauman Moscow State Technical University.
The propeller created by the students is made of polymer plastic using digital design and additive technologies. The project participants worked on optimizing its shape and design. They proposed several versions, including designs with two and three blades.
The development successfully passed the necessary dynamic and acoustic tests. The lift force per blade is about 2 kg, which indicates the high efficiency of the new product.
The propeller is one of the key structural elements of a UAV. Such propellers are used in a very broad class of aircraft employed both in hobbyist drones and in professional solutions related to logistics, aerial photography, agriculture, and cargo delivery. Optimizing the propeller profile, reducing weight, and increasing rigidity leads to improved characteristics of the aircraft as a whole.
