An experimental investigation was completed with the objective of determining the performance characteristics of propeller in a Ducted-Fan Type VTOL UAV. The model consisted of three groups of two-bladed propellers with or withou an annular duct. The propellers share the same diameter but differernt blade pitchs.Model variations included the changes of the propeller and the duct shrouded combination. Static propulsion test data showed figure of lift increases with increasing blade pitch. The coaxial propellers lift did not perform as 2 times of the single propeller lift.The duct increase the duct fan system lift effectively.
