The Prop Testing Station with Wind Tunnel delivers a comprehensive benchtop solution for evaluating small to mid-sized UAV propellers under controlled aerodynamic conditions. Combining the Series 1585 Propeller Test Stand with a modular 2 x 2 Windshaper unit, the system measures thrust, torque, RPM, and electrical input with high precision while exposing the propeller to programmable airflow patterns. Designed for use with electric brushless motors and capable of handling propellers up to 16 inches in diameter, it supports performance benchmarking, efficiency optimization, and comparative analysis across a wide range of propulsion configurations.
The Windshaper’s 36 independently driven fans allow for the creation of custom wind profiles, with flow velocities reaching up to 30 m/s using convergent modules. This makes the system ideal for simulating in-flight conditions, analyzing unsteady flow interactions, and validating prop-motor combinations in real-world scenarios. Engineered for rapid setup and repeatable testing, the Prop Testing Station is a vital tool for UAV developers seeking to streamline R&D and accelerate system-level performance gains.
