What is it about?

This paper begins framming conceptually the topic, then are show the models that defines the general behaviour of each component (Electric motor BLDC, Li-Po battery, propeller and ESC), after that is developed a mathematycal model for each component that is implement in Octave where is simulated and is obtained razonable results.

Why is it important?

The aeronautical industry has turned its interest in recent years to the use of more environmentally friendly energies, which is why it is important to delve into electrical propulsion systems and the development of tools to describe and detail their behavior. For this reason, in this work the dynamic mathematical model in state space of a propulsion system with a brushless electric motor and propeller is developed, from the integration of the behavior model of each of its components, which is implemented in Octave m language to simulate the model and check its correct operation.

Perspectives

The future work that can be carried out from this model is extensive and to make it more useful with the intention of using it to complement aircraft models, the code should be refined a little more in order to reduce the computation time that consumes the simulation.
