hey /diy/
i'm trying to build a drone.
i'm having problems with fan design/motor.
is there any software to help with the conception of fans (shape, lift, revolution speed, HP, etc ...) ?
my drone has 4 motors and weight about 5 kg.
thank you.

Google.
You're not a pioneer, people have done this for a long time. Look up these subjects:
Motor kv
Prop dimensions
Esc's
I have a feeling you haven't put much thought into electronics either, if you are planning to use an arduino or rpi just leave and come back a month later.

Why the hell do you want to design props for? Unless you're designing one to have mass produced in China, just buy them. They're going to get wrecked anyway. Nobody builds their own props.

fair enough, there are still some parameters that need to be taken into account here tho.
motor, propeller size.
