Thrust/Force and Angular Velocity

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the relationship between thrust generated by a propeller and angular velocity, particularly in the context of calculating the horizontal speed of a drone based on various parameters such as roll/pitch angle and mass. Participants are exploring the necessary equations and variables involved in this calculation.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant is seeking an equation to calculate thrust based on angular velocity and other variables related to drone dynamics.
  • Another participant suggests looking at existing threads and resources for equations related to propeller thrust.
  • A different participant expresses a desire for a precise equation rather than an approximation.
  • One participant questions the expectation of high precision in the equations provided, referencing a specific example from electrodynamics.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not appear to reach a consensus on the availability of a specific equation for thrust calculation, with some suggesting existing resources while others emphasize the need for a precise formula.

Contextual Notes

There is a lack of clarity on the specific variables required for thrust calculation and how they relate to angular velocity, as well as the precision expected in the equations discussed.

I'm working on finding the equation for the horizontal speed of a drone given the roll/pitch angle, mass, the angular velocity, and possibly other variables. Though to calculate, I need a way to calculate the thrust that a propeller creates. What is the relation between angular velocity and thrust? Are the specific variables given from the propeller which are necessary to calculate the thrust? If so, what are they and how do they fit into the equation? Thank you in advanced.

Thank you, but I'm not trying to approximate the thrust; I'm looking for an equation.
 
What do you expect ? g-2 precision ? The links have plenty equations !

[edit]sorry, jargon: g-2 is a showcase of formula precision in electrodynamics.
