Hello everyone,
I’m working on a fully 3D-printed Twin Boom VTOL QuadPlane for a college project and need some advice on selecting the right pusher motor and prop combination for maximum endurance. Here are the specs of my current design:
- Wingspan: 2000 mm
- Wing Area: 52 dm²
- Stall Speed: 52 km/h
- Drag Coefficient: 0.06
- Lift Coefficient (Cl): 1.04
- Battery: 6S 22,000 mAh
- Weight: 6500g / MTOW: 7000g
I’m considering T-Motor options and looking for something efficient at low throttle that can keep the plane in steady cruise with minimal power draw. I haven’t finalized a prop size yet, so I’m open to recommendations on motor/prop combinations that balance endurance and thrust efficiency.
- What T-Motor pusher motor and prop combination would you recommend to consider for this setup to maximize endurance?
- Ideally, the pitch speed should be at least twice the stall speed (~104 km/h), but I’m having trouble meeting this while keeping the VTOL max takeoff weight reasonable. Would it be okay to go with a lower pitch speed?
