UAV Drivetrain Calculator

All data presented here was measured with custom built thrust station.

This page is intended to help find optimal combination of Motors, Propellers, Frame configuration and Battery for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). My primary focus is on heavy-lift vehicles meaning with payload above 1kg.

Calculations for thrust and flight time are done for several frame configurations: QUAD, HEX, Y6, OCTO and X8.

All below parameters are editable and result is based on measurements.
