Abstract This chapter presents mathematical modeling for thrust force and moments generated by a propeller in presence of freestream. In particular, the effects of a uniform freestream on propeller’s performance are investigated. We introduce some of the applications of the proposed model in the design of multi-rotor UAVs which helps to increase stability or maneuverability of the vehicle. In the end, simulation results for thrust force and moments of an example propeller in presence of a uniform freestream are presented.
