Propulsion system

The choice of a 2200kv motor and 10x4.5 propeller was made based on the aircraft's

requirements. The 2200kv motor is lightweight, powerful, and efficient, with a maximum

power output of 300W, providing the necessary thrust for the aircraft. It can operate at high

RPM without overheating, ensuring sustained flight.

The 10x4.5 propeller was selected for its efficient performance and ability to produce a high

thrust-to-weight ratio. The propeller is made of lightweight materials and has a high pitch

angle, allowing it to produce more thrust with fewer revolutions per minute. This reduces

the motor's load, resulting in more efficient operation.

Justification:

The 2200kv motor and 10x4.5 propeller were chosen based on several factors, including

weight, efficiency, and performance. The lightweight and powerful 2200kv motor is ideal for

a small aircraft, with the ability to provide the necessary thrust while operating efficiently.

Its high RPM capacity without overheating is also essential for sustained flight.

The 10x4.5 propeller's efficient performance and high thrust-to-weight ratio were crucial for

the aircraft's requirements. Its lightweight design and high pitch angle allow for more

efficient operation, reducing the motor's load while still providing the necessary thrust.
