Dynamometer Testing
Precision Testing for sUAS Propulsion Systems

At Autonomous Flight Technologies (AFT), we offer advanced dynamometer testing for small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS) propulsion systems. Our state-of-the-art testing solutions deliver precise, reliable, and standardized data to optimize performance and drive innovation in sUAS technology.
Our Services​
We provide comprehensive low-speed dynamometer testing using the industry-leading Tyto Robotics Series 1780 test stand. Our testing process evaluates critical performance metrics, including:
-
Power: Accurate measurement of energy consumption and efficiency.
-
Thrust: Precise assessment of propulsion output.
-
Torque: Detailed analysis of rotational force.
Our testing goes beyond the basics. We collect additional data through:
-
METAR Reports: Environmental data for real-world context.
-
Acoustic Sampling: Noise profile analysis for system optimization.
-
Thermal Probes: Temperature monitoring for reliability and safety.
-
Video Capture: Visual documentation for detailed review.
All data is standardized for density altitude and other environmental factors, ensuring consistent and comparable results.
Advanced Data Processing & Testing Technology
At AFT, we compile and process test data using our proprietary database system. This allows us to generate predefined reports that cover all aspects of the tested propulsion system. Our reports provide clear, actionable insights into performance metrics, enabling you to make informed decisions.
Our system also supports comparative analysis, allowing you to evaluate the effects of component or parameter changes, such as:
-
Different propeller configurations
-
Electronic Speed Controllers (ESCs)
-
Input voltage variations
Our testing is powered by the Tyto Robotics Series 1780 test stand, a cutting-edge dynamometer designed for precision and reliability. Key specifications include:
-
Voltage Range: Supports testing of propulsion systems with input voltages up to 60 volts.
-
Thrust Capacity: Measures up to 50 kg of thrust for accurate performance evaluation.
-
Torque Measurement: Captures torque data with high precision for detailed analysis.
-
RPM Range: Tests rotational speeds up to 20,000 RPM, accommodating a wide range of sUAS propulsion systems.
-
Data Acquisition: High-frequency sampling for real-time performance metrics.

With AFT, you can optimize your sUAS propulsion systems with confidence, backed by data-driven insights and industry-leading testing technology.
