This article proposes a technique for evaluating energy requirements for the propulsion system of a quadcopter minidrone. This is the most energy-consuming part of the minidrone. Given the interest in energy autonomy in drones exploitation, in-depth analyzes have been made to determine the required power for propulsion. The minidrone was modeled as a rigid body of the cylinder type with a 30 cm of radius, a 1,47 kg of weight and a 20 cm of height. MATLAB-SIMULINK are used for the simulations. The powers consumed by the propulsion system of an “X-configuration” minidrone model with these parameters, are evaluated.
