Abstract

USV (Unmanned Surface Vehicle) is a tool that can facilitate human work. Conducting surveys, searching in vulnerable areas, mapping, or even exploring for a long time can be done easily by USV. USV technology is currently experiencing very rapid progress. However, this sophistication cannot be separated from USV’s main need, which is to move. To move the USV requires a force which is commonly referred to as thrust. The required thrust is usually generated through a certain instrument, in this case the propeller. Different propeller design would produce different thrust. Likewise with the obstacles from the shape of the USV building itself, it will also provide different obstacles. So it is necessary to do a study to find out which propeller fits a certain USV shape. Every USV needs special propeller design based on the USV design to optimize the energy consumption. In this observation an adjustment will be made to the pitch of the propeller. So that the maximum thrust required by USV can be obtained. In this study the performance of propeller will be observe. With the motor that can produced various rpm. Modeling will be carried out with measurable parameters for each design that has been made, then an analysis will be carried out to find out which design has the best thrust. The results of the observations show the increase of power are influenced by the increase of rpm. Maximum increase of power has been surpassed the power of stock model propeller.
