In this paper, a co-design approach for the multirotor is presented with the objective of improving the energetic efficiency. The approach optimizes concurrently the design and the control. In contrast to conventional design approaches that sequentially designs each part, the co-design approach leads to a better optimal solution due to the consideration of the couplings between design and control.
