EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES OF CHARACTERISTICS ELECTRIC POWER PLANTS FOR LIGHT UAVS
The article describes a stand for conducting experimental studies of electric power plants used on light unmanned aerial vehicles. Static characteristics of a number of propellers were obtained on the developed stand: thrust, power consumption and energy efficiency from the rotational speed. The obtained results were compared with theoretical positions for propellers with internal combustion engines, with an electric motor having similar parameters, as well as with the calculation results in the Propeller Selector program designed for selecting an air propeller to an aircraft.
