Analysis and Procedures for Material Selection

The term material selection means to select the right material for various engineering applications. There are various engineering materials available and each has different individual properties. Thorough knowledge of the material properties and behavior is crucial in the design process. For instance, a structural member, such as a beam, is used to support vertical shear loads by the building itself. To withstand such loads, the material of the beam must possess adequate strength and stiffness to resist any deformation that might lead to the formation of cracks.

Multirotor copters (e.g., drones) use multiple fixed propellers to create a downdraft. The momentum of the downdraft must be balanced by the lift force of the drone. Consider plans to fly the same drone to plan a bridge installation in the mountains of Colorado (elevation 7000 ft) to a pipeline installation over the Allegheny mountains in Pennsylvania (elevation 2000 ft). Assuming the drone is capable of flying in each situation and that fair weather exists in each situation, which would differ between the power requirements in these scenarios?
