Our customers share how our tools helped them build drones and achieve performance goals
"We discovered your low cost sUAS propeller test stand at AUVSI and I think you guys have done an outstanding job bringing this tool to the community. Keep up the great work!"
"We used the Flight Stand 50 to test subscale prototypes of our VTOL model. We used an in-house wind tunnel setup and the test stand worked beautifully."
"Having a reliable ready-to-use-out-of-the-box thrust stand solution was critical to meeting our need to test often and quickly iterate on designs in our development of the toroidal propeller."
"We put our Flight Stand 150 on a weighted cart that we can roll onto the ramp of our R&D facility. One of our favorite features of Tyto test equipment is the ability to easily integrate it into larger systems - we use it to test new power systems together with propellers."
"The Flight Stand 15 has been fundamental in our efforts at UVIC CfAR to size a motor and propeller for our 21kg hybrid-electric multirotor. On top of the comprehensive sensor suite accompanying the stand, the ability to automate testing has helped us to ensure that tests can be consistently performed."
"The out of the box capability coupled with the ease of use and powerful software features made the Tyto DEP system a no brainer when we were sourcing a system to test and validate powertrains. We certainly couldn't have built this capability from the ground up with the same budget, let alone timeline."
The Flight Stand 500 comes with a 1-year limited warranty. Extended warranty and MRO packages are available upon request. See our complete Terms of Service for full details and conditions.
On-site support is available for the installation of the Flight Stand 500. See this video for a description of your options or contact our sales team for more information.
The Flight Stand 500 is calibrated according to ASTM standards: ASTM E74 with 213 points of push & pull for thrust, and ASTM E2428 with 213 points CW & CCW for torque.
The Flight Stand 500 kit includes: thrust stand hardware, 1 motor mounting plate, 1 force measurement unit, 1 data acquisition unit, 1 high voltage measurement unit, 1 current measurement unit, 1 fiber optic RPM sensor, 2 thermocouples, 1 airspeed pressure sensor, complimentary software for system control and data acquisition, and a complimentary training course that covers stand setup and propulsion testing theory.
Motors, propellers and ESCs are not included and must be sourced by the customer.
The Flight Stand 500 kit includes a motor mounting plate that is used to mount your motor on the stand. You must drill holes in the plate according to your motor layout, where screws can pass through the plate and into the holes on your motor. The plate is then mounted on the Flight Stand's force measurement unit using the standoffs provided.
Our thrust stands are not designed for use in water.
