Gimbled Vectored Thrust Propeller for Blimp Drones

thingiverse

Vectored thrust propeller system designed for small drone blimps, offering 2-axis rotation control for precise pitch and yaw adjustment. This versatile setup can be mounted on the tail or, with minor modifications, on the nose of the blimp. Its high thrust-to-weight ratio enables impressive speeds even in smaller drones. Printed with optimal precision, the entire assembly weighs as little as 16 grams while delivering approximately 60 grams of thrust at a pitch speed of about 5 m/s. The system's performance can be observed in the accompanying video: https://youtu.be/tUxTVcdhqJs This vectored thrust propeller is specifically designed for use with the Turnigy D0703 8000KV brushless motor, available at hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-d0703-8000kv-brushless-motor.html. Two HK-5320 ultra-micro digital servos (1.7g each) are required to operate the system; they can be purchased in quantity at hobbyking.com/en_us/hk-5320-ultra-micro-digital-servo-1-7g-0-05sec-0-075kg.html. In addition, a small 8-tooth gear with a 1mm hole for the motor shaft is necessary. The required gear can be sourced from Amazon at gp/product/B00V66YJQI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1. A 4mm carbon fiber tube will also be needed to attach the propeller and servos. For a tripod mount, use 1mm carbon fiber tubes that can securely fasten this system to a drone blimp.
