Variable Pitch Propulsion Drive Model

Abstract

The contribution deals with the mathematical model of the propeller drive unit with variable pitch. The introductory part of the article aims at a general mathematical description of the internal structure of the aircraft propulsion. The DC motor and propeller model are presented in next chapter. The last part presents the comparison between MatLab Simulink model and experimental laboratory stand of variable pitch drive unit. Variable pitch propeller drive is useful to minimize power consumption. The use of these units for the drones is only experimental in terms of optimization of energy consumption.
