ab: Summary: Due to the advantages of electric motors and electric batteries,
    the electric propulsion systems are widely used in UAVs [1,2]. The
    UAV’s performance and endurance, the payload capacity and the flight
    time of the vehicle are affected highly by the structure and design of
    the electric propulsion system. In this paper, a new systematic design
    methodology for electric propulsion system (propeller, electric motor
    and battery pack) is proposed based on the design specifications given
    in terms of the required thrust, permissible propulsion system’s
    weight and required flight time.
