Test up to 8 motors and propellers simultaneously. Includes powerful software, ASTM-calibrated load cell, and a complimentary training course.
Everything you need for reliable, repeatable propulsion testing — hardware, software, and training included.
Measure vibration, evaluate ESC responsiveness, and characterize the dynamic response of motors and propellers at full resolution.
Calibrated to ASTM E74/E2624 standards for the most precise measurements on the market — ±0.5% of the measured value.
Full I/O API to read and control extra sensors and CAN ESCs. Automate and customize your test sequences entirely in Python.
Remotely control and monitor the Flight Stand from any computer on your network. Run tests from a safe distance.
Test up to 8 motors and propellers simultaneously. Ideal for DEP and coaxial drone validation programs.
Solid-state measurement system with no bearings or hinges. Minimal mechanical noise means cleaner data every time.
Choose the model that fits your testing requirements and budget.

"We discovered your sUAS propeller test stand at AUVSI and I think you guys have done an outstanding job bringing this tool to the community. Keep up the great work!"
"Having a reliable ready-to-use-out-of-the-box thrust stand solution was critical to meeting our need to test often and quickly iterate on designs in our development of the toroidal propeller."
"The Flight Stand 15 has been fundamental in our efforts to size a motor and propeller for our 21 kg hybrid-electric multirotor. The ability to automate testing has helped us ensure consistent, reproducible results."
"We used Flight Stand 50 to test subscale prototypes of our VTOL model. We used an in-house wind tunnel setup and the test stand worked beautifully."
"We put our Flight Stand 150 on a weighted cart that we can roll onto the ramp of our R&D facility. One of our favorite features is the ability to easily integrate it into larger systems."
"The out-of-the-box capability coupled with the ease of use and powerful software features made the DEP system a no-brainer. We couldn't have built this capability from the ground up within the same budget, let alone timeline."
The Flight Stand 15 kit includes: thrust stand hardware, 1 motor mounting plate, 1 force measurement unit, 1 electrical measurement unit, 1 sync hub, 1 optical RPM probe, 2 temperature sensors, complimentary software for system control and data acquisition, and a complimentary training course. The Pro model includes an additional IR temperature sensor. Coaxial kits include an extra sync hub, ground rails, and hardware for securing Flight Stands.
Motors, propellers, and ESCs are not included and must be sourced by the customer.
The Flight Stand 15 comes with a 1-year limited warranty. Extended warranty and MRO packages are available upon request. See our complete Terms of Service for full details and conditions.
Standard models are calibrated according to an internal standard — 26 push/pull points for thrust, 30 CW/CCW points for torque. Pro models are calibrated to ASTM standards: ASTM E74 with 211 push/pull points for thrust, and ASTM E2428 with 213 CW/CCW points for torque. This gives the Pro model significantly higher traceability and accuracy.
The kit includes a motor mounting plate with pre-drilled slots. Screws pass through the plate into the motor's mounting holes. The plate then attaches to the Force Measurement Unit (FMU) using the standoffs provided, creating a rigid, repeatable fixture.
The stand is not designed for use in water. For water-related testing environments, please contact our sales team to discuss custom configurations.
