A Quadcopter is a wildly used unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) specially used in spy vision and aerial photography. It is called Quadcopter because it consists of four propellers controlling its motion in three dimensional space. The present study focuses on the structural analysis of a Quadcopter propeller including the static and modal analyses. The propeller has been designed in Creo 2.0 and imported in Ansys 2019 for the structural analyses. The propeller model has been tested under the static loading and vibrations. The static loading has been applied considering bending in two different directions and the modal analysis has been performed for the vibrational frequencies. The obtained results have been analyzed and compared for two different materials namely, carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) and glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP).
