Leading developer of high-precision testing solutions for UAVs and drones Tyto Robotics, discusses how to measure brushless motor and propeller efficiency to improve the range and performance of multirotor unmanned aerial systems (UAS).
Charles Blouin, Engineer and President of Tyto Robotics Inc. looks at identifying which parameters to optimize given the requirements of the end user, for example increasing payload capacity, improving handling in strong winds, or minimizing overheating problems. Read in full here >>
The article covers:
- How to Measure all Parameters with a Thrust Stand
- Test Procedure for Static Tests
- How to Use the Efficiency Results
Meaningful data that enables the measurement of brushless motor and propeller efficiency can easily be obtained using the right equipment. Tyto Robotics’ thrust stands provide this data, enabling informed design decisions that improve UAS performance.
- Series 1585 – measures up to 2 Nm of torque
- Flight Stand 15 – measures up to 8 Nm of torque
- Flight Stand 50 – measures up to 30 Nm of torque
- Flight Stand 150 – measures up to 150 Nm of torque
