Reasons for testing drone motors and propellers detailed in the article include:
- Increasing the flight time, range and payload capacity
- Recording diagnostics
- Safety, certification and quality assurance
- Preventative maintenance
- Noise and vibration testing
- Thermal testing of drone motors
- Characterizing the throttle response
- Solving in-flight icing issues
