4.5 Drone engine orientation and propeller design
Motors and propellers are the technology that lifts the drone, allowing it to fly or
hover. On a quadcopter, the motors and
propellers work in pairs, with two motors/
propellers rotating clockwise and two motors/propellers rotating counterclockwise.
The drone moves according to the data it receives from the flight controller and
electronic speed controllers (ESC) for hover or engine flight direction.
