    Electric "missile" type UAV/Drone

    I'm not in the US, just letting that out there. On other news, I have decided to use a NACA 0009 airfoil for the mechanical vanes in the exhaust body tube. Now I have to decide whether I need wings/fins for efficiency during horizontal cruising.

    Electric "missile" type UAV/Drone

    I would also like to state that after careful consideration, we have greatly downsized our payload carrying capacity and as such, the propellers and body tube diameters have been shortened to just 6 inches. Now all that's left is figuring out if TVC using mechanical vanes in the exhaust stream...

    Electric "missile" type UAV/Drone

    Ah, so should I further increase the diameter of the body tube and add a larger propeller & motor or should I bite the bullet and just use an EDF? Also if I do happen to use two motors, how do I find out on how much I should increase the pitch of the second propeller? Thank you for your reply.

    Electric "missile" type UAV/Drone

    Is an electric "missile" like drone/UAV, where the propeller is enclosed in the body tube (fuselage), possible with two BLDC motors (I have picked AT2826 from T-Motor) with 12*6 propellers? Or will I have to look at using Electric Ducted Fans (EDFs)? EDFs are much more powerful but their...
