%X Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are aircraft that designed to carry out the desired tasks. In the design of these aircraft, the maximization of engine performance and flight time is very important. In this study, the maximization of the UAV's brushless motor performance and flight time are discussed. For this purpose, a model based on Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) depending on Back-Tracking Search Optimization (BSO) algorithm is proposed. In the proposed model, four parameters including the signal of electronic speed control (ESC) unit that adjusts the brushless engine speed, the number of rotations of the brushless motor (RPM) per minute, the propeller size, and the propeller pitch were selected as input parameters. The required thrust, flight time and engine efficiency were selected as output parameters. Thus, a model with 4 inputs and 3 outputs was formed. To use the in the training process of the proposed model, data was obtained from the brushless motor with the help of RCBenchmark's 1580 model dynamometer. By using these produced data, the parameters of the optimum ANN structure were determined by BSO algorithm. The ANN structure that optimally determined was integrated with the BSO algorithm to achieve the objective function. With this integration, the model based on the BSO algorithm provided the values of input parameters for maximum engine performance and maximum flight time. That is, the BSO algorithm was used both to optimize the ANN structure and to obtain the parameters required for maximization of brushless engine performance and flight time. The results of the study were presented by tables and figures. The results obtained in the simulation process with the BSO Algorithm based ANN model showed that the proposed method will be facilitated the UAV design for designers
