Some Matlab functions that run Mark Drela's QProp code (found here: http://web.mit.edu/drela/Public/web/qprop/)

The script PropellerPerformance.m does an example sweep across a range of throttle settings The script PropellerPlotting.m plots the output of PropellerPerformance.m

The function run_qprop.m runs the qprop.exe and parses the output file into matlab, see PropellerPerformance.m for an example of its use

QProp takes textfile inputs, and since often the key parameter is the motor Kv value, the function editKv.m is just a shortcut to edit the motor input file, can be helpful for finding an optimal motor pairing.

All the remaining files are duplicates of the files available for download at http://web.mit.edu/drela/Public/web/qprop/, with a few extra propfiles added based on some 3D scans I took.
