Effect on thrust due to damaged propellers of quadcopters
Quadcopters which are a type of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are attracting a lot of attention for both commercial and personal usage. One of the many applications of UAVs is surveillance as it helps military personnel to reduce potential risks on one’s safety. As UAVs become more popular, it’s a...

Quadcopters which are a type of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are attracting a lot of attention for both commercial and personal usage.

However, these quadcopters may be damaged during operation and it is necessary to have flight stability even when one of the propeller is damaged.
