Brushless Motor Selection parameters:
There are two main criteria's to consider when choosing a motor:
1-Electrical characteristics
2-Physical characteristics

Electrical characteristics:
1. Motor Kv:
The no-load RPM per volt of the motor. For example, if a motor is rated
at Kv = 3000 and is being run on a 10 cell (12 volt) battery, then the
motor will spin at 36,000 rpm
Given two motors which are identical except for the Kv, the motor with
the higher Kv will be more powerful and use more current, and the
motor with the lower Kv will be weaker but use less current.
2. Motor Io:

The no-load current rating for a motor. This is the electrical current
used by the motor when the motor is running at full speed with no
mechanical load on the rotor.
The motor's Io is one factor which will help you determine the motor's
efficient operating range.
Better quality motors usually have a lower Io because they are more
efficient and expend less power.
High-power motors usually have a higher Io because they are designed
to run efficiently at high loads and therefore run much less efficiently
at low loads.

3. Motor efficiency:
Motor efficiency is important because the power not used to fly the
UAV is wasted as heat. For example, you might compare two motors,
one with 80% and 90% efficiency. The difference appears to be only
10%.
In terms of heat generation, the 80% efficient motor will generate
almost twice as much heat as the 90% efficient motor. If a helicopter
requires 150 watts to hover, then the 90% efficient motor will use
166.7 watts of power and waste 16.7 watts as heat.
The 80% efficient motor will use 187.5 watts of power, and waste 27.5
watts as heat. This generates 65% more heat than the 90% efficient
motor. So, motor efficiency is very important because efficient motors
run much cooler.
4. Motor rated RPM:
Some motors are rated for a very low maximum RPM, such as:
JETI motors have a maximum rating of 15k-20k RPM

Older Kontronik Tangos have a maximum rating of 25k RPM
If you use the motor past its rated RPM, then motor failure will
probably occur (most likely the magnets will loosen from the rotor).
2. Physical characteristics
1. Motor size:
Some motors are too large to fit in the some helicopters. For example,
the C50-13L is too large to fit in the ECO 8.
2. Motor weight:
A quick guide to suitable in runner motors is to allocate 10-15% of the
helicopter's AUW to the motor so, the in runner motors suitable for an
ECO 8 (AUW ~1600 grams) will be between 160-240 grams in weight.
Out runner motors can be lighter because they are more efficient at
dissipating heat. For out runner motors, it is only necessary to allocate
about 7-10% of the helicopter's AUW for the motor.
If you are not experienced with selecting motors, then you should
select a motor in the 13-15% of AUW range. Motors in the 10-12%
AUW are somewhat small and must be selected carefully to fly the
helicopter well and avoid overheating.
3. Motor mounting holes:
Some motors are unsuitable for multirotors use because the motor
mounting holes are nonstandard.
4. Cooling options:
For indoor flight we have to use motors with fan or according to the
temperature.
