PROPELLER MEASUREMENT STAND SYSTEM

Abstract

The article deals with a practical realization of a measurement propeller stand for data acquisition with the aim on an automated system for the acquisition of electromotor and propeller data that are used as a propulsion unit on small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). Described are BLDC motors as the most commonly used propulsion on small UAVs and also BLDC motor driving methods are characterized. Mechanical construction, software and initial test results are presented.
