Happy Chinese New Year!Elecrow will be on holiday from February 14–22 (GMT+8). You may still place orders of products and manufacturing services as usual, and we will resume production and shipping by February 25.
Quadcopter Y1101 with 6'' NACA-M18 Model Propellers
The Quadcopter Y1101 is a 3D SolidWorks–modeled, high-aerodynamic-resistance racing drone designed for precision, speed, and stability. This project merges simulation-driven design with hands-on fabrication, using 6-inch NACA-M18 propeller blades to maximize lift efficiency and maintain stability at high flight velocities. However, the blade design is fully parametric and customizable, meaning the propeller geometry can be modified or redesigned based on the research methodology being pursued. This allows engineers and researchers to explore performance variations across different airfoil profiles, pitch angles, and chord lengths, enabling targeted optimization for speed, stability, and flight precision in both racing and research applications. The Y1101 was created as a 3D-printable prototype platform for testing aerodynamic performance and control algorithms, bridging the gap between simulation-based design and real-world racing drone prototyping.
Story
The Y1101 was developed entirely inSolidWorks, focusing on structural integrity and aerodynamic resistance management. The airframe employs a compact, low-drag geometry with balanced mass distribution to maintain dynamic stability during rapid maneuvering.
The NACA-M18 airfoil propeller design was selected for its high lift-to-drag ratio and stall resistance, making it ideal for aggressive pitch and forward-thrust conditions. Each propeller and frame segment is optimized for 3D printing, enabling rapid iteration, low-cost testing, and modular upgrades.
