In this study, an unsupervised machine learning method for in-flight vibration-based anomaly detection in UAV propellers is presented. Effective detection of single and multiple rotor faults in various configurations may be accomplished using vibration signals, even from a single sensor, ensuring the safety and reliability of UAV operations.
