In the development of complex, novel electrified aerial systems such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) systems, multi-domain modeling and simulation studies can provide indispensable insight on system design and performance. In this paper, a Modelica library used to model multi-domain drone models is introduced. This library models a drone in the electrical, mechanical, and control domains, with examples for applications such as battery-power analysis, virtual reality simulation and user interaction.
