Thus [Valkyrie Workshop] has come up with a simple but ingenious rig to evaluate a motor and propeller combo without ... allowing a direct readout of the thrust in grams or kilograms.

That’s not really what you want if you’re testing brushless motors and prop configurations, anyway; similarly sized props can have very different thrust profiles. Instead of building a dyno ...

The action of a propeller is that of a rotating wing where the lift provided by the wing is the desired thrust for propulsion. The blades also have an associated drag which reduces the overall ...

One of the most fascinating aircraft in the eVTOL space has moved into flight testing with a new large-scale prototype.

Fly without wings or propellers? One team just made it happen—this breakthrough could forever change how we take to the skies.
