Description

The propeller is a component that generates thrust using rotating blades. It is used to propel vehicles in the air or in water.

Usage

It can be configured through its configuration interface accessible via the V key.

Configuration Interface

It provides information about the propeller and allows for configuration.

Information

  • Input Voltage: Input voltage in volts.
  • Power: Power consumption in Watts.
  • Thrust: Thrust generated in Newtons.
  • Rotation Speed: Rotation speed in rotations per second.
  • Pitch: Normalized Pitch angle.

Configuration

  • Radius: Propeller radius in meters.
  • Twist: Propeller twist angle (normalized).
  • Blades: Number of blades.

Energy

The propeller has a low-voltage energy port and a high-voltage energy port, which allow for more or less control over the supplied power.

Low-Voltage Energy

In this configuration, the propeller consumes up to 50 kw.

High-Voltage Energy

In this configuration, the propeller consumes up to 500 kw.
