Design, Development and Analysis of Bladeless Thruster
Abstract
Conventional multi-copters include a plurality of propellers designed to provide lift, propulsion and altitude control of the UAV. Inspired by the Dyson bladeless fan, the proposed thruster has the significant advantage of a bladeless technology in terms of safety. The thruster is composed of a vertical inlet duct with an Electric Ducted Fan and a special nozzle ring. The pressure difference created through the airfoil-like cross- section of the ring combined with the Coanda effect helps to create at a thruster that has no externally rotating blades or propellers.
