Abstract (type = abstract)
Even as an emerging technology, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have had a tremendous impact on the world. From the way wars are fought, to the way we take selfies, drones are well on their way to revolutionizing our daily lives. One of the most innovative applications of these vehicles in the Naviator submersible-UAV. This unique multirotor is capable of aerial flight and underwater operations with seamless Air-Water transitions. In this thesis, the power system of a multirotor UAS is characterized using standard performance models with the goal of designing and optimizing the systems of a new Naviator V5 prototype. Test beds were created to collect data on BLDC motors and propellers and their performance was assessed in air and water. Theoretical models using BEM theory and the 3-constant motor model were validated for their accuracy. Experiments found that RC air propellers are similarly efficient in air and water and BLDC motor performance is partially diminished due to the higher viscosity of water. The effects of input voltage, throttle, Kv rating, and motor size were also evaluated using motor torque curves. Using this data, an optimal power system for the Naviator V5 prototype was designed, tested, and evaluated.
