Double-click the file to launch the application.
If Windows shows a security warning, click "Run anyway" — this is a trusted tool.

That's it! The application will open a window where you can start designing your quadrotor.

✨ Key Features

BEMT-based sizing: Quickly compute rotor dimensions, thrust, power, and efficiency.
As-built validation: Compare your design with real-world measurements.
User-friendly interface: Simple input fields and clear output graphs.
No installation mess: Portable executable — runs from anywhere.
Lightweight: Works on any modern Windows PC (Windows 10/11).

📐 What You Can Do

Quadrotor-design is built for conceptual design of small electric quadrotors. Typical use cases include:

Designing a new drone from scratch — select rotor size, RPM, blade pitch, and more.
Validating an existing build — input measured parameters and compare to BEMT predictions.
Educational purposes — understand how rotor geometry affects performance.
Rapid prototyping — iterate designs without building physical prototypes.

📊 Example Workflow

Define geometry: Enter rotor radius, chord, twist, number of blades.
Set operating conditions: RPM, air density, forward speed.
Run analysis: The tool calculates thrust, torque, power, and efficiency.
View results: Numerical data and plots are displayed instantly.
Validate: Compare with actual test data (if available).
