The ability of small height ducted fans usage for multicopters to inctease its hover time is investigated. Experiments and numerical simulations concerning duct aerodynamics and ducted fan efficiency were carried out. Under study is the interference of four propellers and ducted fans, the thrust dependency of the distance from the center of the quadcopter is obtained.
