Component Name

Quadcopter Propellers 10 x 4.5 (1 Pair)

Overview

The Quadcopter Propellers 10 x 4.5 (1 Pair) is a set of high-performance propellers designed specifically for quadcopter drones. These propellers are engineered to provide efficient and stable flight, making them an ideal choice for aerial enthusiasts and professionals alike.

Functionality

The primary function of these propellers is to generate thrust and lift, allowing the quadcopter to take off, hover, and maneuver through the air. The propellers work in conjunction with the drone's motors and flight controller to create a stable and responsive flight experience.

Key Features

  • Size and Design: The propellers measure 10 inches in diameter and 4.5 inches in pitch, making them suitable for quadcopters with a medium to large frame size. The aerodynamic design ensures smooth airflow, reducing turbulence and vibration during flight.
  • Material: The propellers are constructed from high-quality, durable plastic that is resistant to impact and wear. This material selection provides a balance between strength, weight, and cost-effectiveness.
  • Blade Angle: The 4.5-inch pitch allows for a optimal blade angle, which enables efficient thrust generation and reduces energy consumption.
  • Hub Design: The propeller hub is designed to securely fit onto the motor shaft, ensuring a snug and reliable connection. The hub's narrow shape minimizes air resistance, further improving overall efficiency.
  • Balance and Symmetry: Each propeller is carefully balanced and symmetrical, ensuring that the drone's flight is smooth and stable. This reduces the risk of vibration-related issues and prolongs the lifespan of the motor and other components.
  • Pair Configuration: The package includes one pair of propellers, comprising one clockwise (CW) and one counterclockwise (CCW) propeller. This configuration helps maintain stability and consistency during flight.
  • Compatibility: The Quadcopter Propellers 10 x 4.5 (1 Pair) are compatible with a wide range of quadcopter frames, motors, and flight controllers, making them a versatile option for various drone builds and applications.

  pinMode(motor2Pin, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(motor3Pin, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(motor4Pin, OUTPUT);

GPIO.setup(motor2Pin, GPIO.OUT)
GPIO.setup(motor3Pin, GPIO.OUT)
GPIO.setup(motor4Pin, GPIO.OUT)
while True:
  # Set motor speeds (0-100) to achieve stable flight
