IThere are a large number of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) throughout the world performing a variety of functions. The variety of conditions under which they operate. e.g., speed, altitude, endurance, VTOL, payload etc. impact or limit the type and size of propulsion system needed. This paper will define the various UAV categories and will characterize the types of engines and propulsors available for them. The variability of design features and their effect on characteristics will be shown. The effect of propulsion system trades on total system capability will be discussed.
