Drone propulsion units are critical systems that require particular design attention. A good propulsion design allows for more energy efficient, safer, more robust, less noisy, or simply more performant drones.

In order to offer a vast variety of test configurations, we have assembled a test bench (including RCbenchmark test stand) that is capable of characterizing drone propulsion units in any particular airflow. For example, propulsion units for fixed-wing can be tested as if the drone was at cruise speed – with the wind direction perpendicular to the propeller disk. For multi-copter drones, we can test the propulsion unit with any apparent wind angle from 0 to 90 degrees.

Thus test bench includes:

  • 1.5m x 0.75m (width x height) windshaper
  • RCbenchmark 1585 test stand (link to specs)
  • 1’000 FPS optical camera (SONY RX100 MKIV)

Finally, thanks to our ongoing industrial and institutional partnerships, we can have access to a vast variety of tools and facilities that are not listed here. For instance, we can offer alternative testing environment such as hot, cold, rain, snow, icing, abrasive materials, etc.
