Today’s largest drones and eVTOL are capable of carrying thousands of pounds, in the form of humans, cargo and more. But how can we determine how much weight a drone can carry?
The amount of weight a drone can carry first and foremost depends on the amount of thrust produced by its propellers.
In this article we will cover:
1. The Drone Thrust: Weight Ratio
2. Thrust Requirements for Basic Operations
3. How to Determine Drone Carrying Capacity
4. How to Calculate Propeller Thrust
