We're excited to highlight how the Aerostructures Innovation Research Hub (AIR Hub) at Swinburne University of Technology is using Tyto Robotics' tools in Australia. With five Flight Stand 50 Pros and our software, they created a distributed electric propulsion test setup, called the "Iron Bird." Brandon Piening, Research Engineer at AIR Hub, shared: "We successfully picked up an error in previous calculations as well as a mismatch between supplier information and real-world data. The ability to quickly and easily test motor and propeller combinations as well as running virtual missions for full evtol concepts is a capability we can’t wait to utilise further." 👉Click the link to learn more about their experience: https://hubs.la/Q02W3PqB0 #DistributedPropulsion #EVTOLTesting #AerospaceEngineering #FlightTesting #InnovationInAviation

The R&D team is using the Flight Stand 500 to test and validate our new fiber optic RPM probe, currently under development. The new probe will help ensure precision in every test, in every environment. These tests are a key part of our process, ensuring the highest standards of performance and reliability in RPM measurement for large motors and propellers. 🚁 👉For more details on this technology, visit: https://hubs.la/Q02SNt-p0 We used a ROTEX REB 30 motor, Mejzlik Propellers 80 x 28 CW propeller, Valence : Powered by Lithion U27-12XP Battery, and MGM COMPRO 320120 HBCI ESC. #DroneTesting #RPMProbe #AerospaceTech #TestingSolutions #PrecisionEngineering

Thank you for highlighting our advancements in Distributed Electric Propulsion (DEP) testing. Our hardware and software are designed to meet the needs of emerging electric aircraft technologies, and we’re proud to be contributing to the future of aviation.
Testing distributed electric propulsion Tyto Robotics has developed a test system for the next generation of electric aircraft that are using distributed electric propulsion (DEP), writes Nick Flaherty. DEP describes a propulsion system whereby the thrust generation is distributed across three or more electrically-powered propulsors. In many DEP designs, the electric propulsors (fans or propellers) are distributed in parallel along an aerodynamic surface, such as the wing of an aircraft. DEP architectures are evolving and no two DEP aircraft are the same. In a fully electric DEP aircraft, a high-density on-board battery acts as the main power source. The batteries drive multiple electric motors that are each individually connected to a propulsor (a fan or propeller) with aircraft such as the Lilium Jet, NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s redesigned X-57 Maxwell, and the Airbus Vahana. The test system developed by Tyto comes with the hardware, software, and electronics needed to measure the performance of up to eight motors and propellers simultaneously. This is needed to test the various new requirements of DEP designs such as the integration of the propulsors into the lift-producing surfaces of the aircraft, such as the leading edge of the wing, which leads to an aero-propulsive coupling effect. Boundary layer ingestion (BLI) is an example of this concept, where the propulsors ingest the slower moving air from the boundary layer along the surface of the aircraft. Less energy is required to accelerate this air and it can reduce the total amount of drag produced along that surface, such that fuel efficiency can be increased by up to 8.5%. However, the boundary layer air is much more distorted than free-stream air, so stronger propellers or fans are required to process it. DEP systems incorporate redundancy on multiple levels, which improves the overall safety of the aircraft. The DEP propulsors may be used to manoeuvre the aircraft, offering a layer of redundancy that can be useful if any of the aircraft’s control surfaces are damaged. The larger number of propulsors means that no individual unit plays a singular role in keeping the aircraft in the air. In a system with eight or 16 propulsors, losing power from one or even a few would not be mission critical. However, testing the distributed electric propulsion designs also comes with its own set of challenges. Here the hardware and electronics use a combination of load cells and sensors to measure the propulsion system’s thrust, torque, RPM, voltage, current, temperature, and power. These measurements are used to derive motor and ESC efficiency, propeller efficiency, and overall efficiency for individual powertrains or up to eight powertrains combined.

We recently tested three drone propellers—26-inch XOAR Propeller, 28-inch, and 30-inch Mejzlik Propellers to find the quietest option. Using a DFRobot sound sensor, AXI 8110 motor, and our Flight Stand 15 Pro, we connected the sensor with our "Input Transformations" software feature. We gathered valuable data to help select the optimal propeller. 👉Watch the full video for a detailed breakdown of the tests and results: https://hubs.la/Q02Q9gkH0 👉Learn more about the Flight Stand 15 Pro used in these tests here: https://hubs.la/Q02Q99mv0 #UAV #DroneTesting #PropulsionSystems #Aerospace #Robotics
