This document outlines the key aspects of the propulsion system designed by Team 4, including the geometric properties of the propeller, motor specifications, and power supply considerations. The team selected a propeller with a diameter-to-pitch ratio of 0.8, achieving an advance ratio of 0.9713, with specific operating parameters such as a speed of 129.3 ft/s and a thrust coefficient of 0.8. The chosen motor is a Rimfire Brushless Outrunner, complemented by A123 Racing Lithium-Ion batteries and a Castle Creations Phoenix-80 speed controller, with an overall cost estimation for the components provided.
