Tyto Robotics is a leading developer of professional test equipment for UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) and drones. Our drone motor and propeller test stands, along with our state-of-the-art wind tunnel testing technology, allow unmanned aircraft manufacturers to create highly optimized and efficient drone platforms.
All our drone test stands are bundled with our advanced RCbenchmark data acquisition software, allowing you to easily and intuitively control the stand, log data, and automate testing.
The software provides the ability to manually control ECS throttle with a slider, and to change the blade pitches of your propellers. Data can be plotted on-screen in real time, and exported to .CSV files for further processing.
Powerful scripting capabilities allow you to run any kind of automated test, including ramped endurance tests, pass/fail quality control, and RPM data capture.
The Series 1585 is a professional test stand that allows you to measure and characterize anything you need to know about your drone’s propulsion system, including thrust, torque, voltage, current, motor rotation speed, vibration, and efficiency.
With enhanced dynamic response, greater power capacity, and increased electrical noise immunity, it allows you to optimize flight time, payload and reliability for quadcopter, multirotor and fixed-wing drone designs.
The turnkey solution provides everything you need to begin testing right out of the box. It includes a built-in precision ohmmeter for motor winding resistance measurement, and features expansion ports for additional sensors such as temperature, airspeed and optical RPM probes. The included motor mounting plate allows you to test any small- to medium-sized brushless motors.
Specifications:
| Max Thrust | 5 kgf |
| Max Torque | 2 Nm |
| Max Voltage | 50V |
| Max Continuous Current | 55A |
| Max Force Measurement rate | Up to 80 Hz |

The Flight Stand 15 is a professional test stand for propulsion systems of small and medium-sized drones, allowing you to measure up to 15 kgf of thrust and 8 Nm of torque, as well as a variety of other parameters including RPM, current, voltage, temperature, propeller efficiency and motor efficiency.
In addition to single motors, the stand allows realistic testing of dual-motor powertrains in back-to-back, face-to-face, or offset configurations. Flight controller data can be uploaded to the test software, allowing you to recreate throttle input in real time.
The Flight Stand 15 is available in Standard or Pro versions, with the Pro providing dynamic testing over a wider range of values with higher accuracy. All of our test stands are rigorously calibrated to ASTM standards in order to ensure maximum measurement precision.
