In this study, conventional AAM propeller blades are replicated by computed tomography scanning and 3D-printing. By comparing the aerodynamic performance parameters, structural results and acoustic emissions with the original propellers, the relevance of rapid prototyping for drone propeller manufacturing is assessed. Additional post-processing steps are applied to improve surface properties
