Complete testing solution for propellers with integrated thrust stand, wind tunnel capabilities, and advanced aerodynamic analysis tools.
Collect key performance data: Thrust, efficiency, Reynolds number, angle of attack, figure of merit, and more.
The Series 1585 measures propeller thrust and efficiency, in addition to torque, RPM, and power.
The 2 x 2 Windshaper has individually controlled fans that can generate diverse wind profiles.
Mimics the constant flow you would see in a traditional wind tunnel, which is great for evaluating aerodynamics.
Ideal for simulating the conditions an aircraft is likely to face in its work environment due to weather and topology.
Describes a wind profile where adjacent layers of fluids move parallel to each other at different speeds.
Ideal for simulating the conditions an aircraft is likely to face in its work environment due to weather and topology.
Sudden changes in wind speed can be challenging for an aircraft to navigate. Gusts can be simulated by rapidly fluctuating the wind speed.
Our customers share how our tools helped them build drones and achieve performance goals.
"The system has been working well for us. Most recently we used it for static testing of a powered glider platform to supply incoming airflow over the fuselage to measure the glider's power draw and heat buildup throughout the fuselage with the incoming flow, simulating a slow speed flight."
Chris White Research Engineer — Raspet Flight Research Laboratory, Mississippi State University"The Tyto thrust stand and 2×2 Windshaper have been game-changers in our propeller development. For a windmilling drone like ours, custom propellers are critical — and Tyto's tools have helped us uncover performance gains we'd never see in static tests."
Will Hasting, PE CEO — Angel Aerial Systems"The Windshaper has been an invaluable tool in our research to better understand the interactions between flow and drones in windy and gusty conditions! Using the Windshaper and bubble tracking, we were able to precisely characterize how LaDrone reacts to wind gusts!"
