An Integrated Experimental–Numerical Methodology for Full-Scale Aerodynamic Characterization of Propeller-Driven Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
The aerodynamic characterization of propeller-driven UAVs is often constrained by the unfeasibility of testing the complete airframe–propeller assembly in a wind tunnel, since geometric scaling prevents simultaneous similarity of both the airframe and the propeller. To address this limitation, this work presents an int...
