Drone Technology is one of the major areas of research in numerous aspects and purposes. Less flight time and more power consumption has become the major problem in flying drones and UAVs. This project aims in analysing the thrust and other parameters of Coaxial propellers by ducting them uniquely and comparing them with conventionally ducted propellers. Ducting increases the thrust and in this, two propellers were individually ducted. Increase in the efficiency will allow the drones to fly effectively with adequate power consumption. The experiment results were tabulated and compared with each different case such as hover and forward flight configurations. In this Coaxial system one propeller rotates in Clockwise whereas the other in Counter-clockwise direction.
