With larger blades, why does the drone have less thrust
I recently upgraded my six-rotor UAV.In order to improve flight efficiency, I specially refitted larger blades. But when it was installed, I tested it and found a series of problems. Firstly, the electric power is very hot, and secondly, it is obvious that the thrust of propeller is getting smaller and smaller. Can someone tell me why?

with the larger blade the motors rpm decrese.so less thrust

Propellers are rated by diameter and pitch. If you went to a lower pitch, then yes, you can have less thrust.
What made you think that changing diameter would increase efficiency? |

In this video i used 850KV (low RPM motor) to spin GWS (SF type) 10x4.5 prop as documented in this page: https://www.supermotoxl.com/projects...tor-450mm.html Video: FYI "Bell" type or known as mushroom motor design have more inertial torque to spin big propeller due to its bigger outer casing and magnet size. |
