Design and Development of Thrust Stand for Testing Drone Propellers

This project focuses on designing and building a thrust stand to assess drone propeller performance. To accommodate different propeller sizes, the stand is made of lightweight, sturdy materials and has a modular design. This stand delivers real-time performance data and is equipped with sensors for thrust, torque, and RPM measurements. The project's goal is to examine how effective various propeller configurations, materials, and designs are under various operating circumstances. By storing and processing the data, a microcontroller-based system provides information about the best propeller performance for particular uses. Drone performance can be improved and lightweight, effective propulsion systems for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can be developed according to the discoveries.
