Along with the growth in the_x000D_
market, there is a steadily increasing demand for higher performance UAVs. To support this demand, Tyto_x000D_
Robotics is developing benchmarking and measurement tools for small UAVs (e.g. <25 kgs) which may be_x000D_
used by designers and operators to assess motors, propellers and batteries for their aircraft. Accurate_x000D_
performance data is as essential to mission planning and operational success for small UAV operators as it is_x000D_
for traditional manned aircraft and large-scale UAVs._x000D_
Tyto Robotics has developed a small propeller/motor test stand that measures thrust, torque and power_x000D_
consumption for small UAV propellers and motor combinations. This hardware tool also has integrated_x000D_
software to operate the test stand and collect and analyze the data. Additionally, the primary users of the_x000D_
system at present are researchers and hobbyists with intermediate to advanced level of existing knowledge of_x000D_
