LY-30KGF Test Bench Enters Routine Service for Medium-UAV Propulsion Validation

The LY-30KGF Thrust Stand has entered routine operation, providing engineering teams with a structured ground-validation step before medium-UAV flight testing. Its role is not to replace field flights, but to help make each flight test more targeted, safer, and better supported by traceable data.

Turning Component Matching into Testable Decisions

During a typical test session, engineers can establish a baseline and compare different motor, ESC, and propeller combinations under the same operating conditions. With a 30 kgf measurement range, 1 gf thrust resolution, and 0.001 N·m torque resolution, the bench can capture small performance differences between similar propulsion configurations.

Motor speed can be monitored up to 30,000 RPM through Hall-sensor measurement, while the infrared temperature module records motor-case temperature during testing. This allows the team to review thrust output, torque, rotational speed, electrical behavior, and thermal trends together instead of relying only on observations from outdoor flight trials.

A More Structured Step Before Flight Testing

Outdoor testing remains essential for final UAV validation, but it can be affected by weather, airspace availability, site conditions, and safety limitations. The LY-30KGF test bench provides a controlled environment in which potential matching issues, unusual power consumption, or abnormal temperature trends can be reviewed before the aircraft enters flight testing.

Environmental data, including temperature, humidity, and air pressure, can also be recorded with the test results. This gives engineers a clearer reference when comparing different test sessions, propulsion batches, or configuration changes.

Supporting Data-Driven UAV Power Development

With the test bench now in regular use, the development team can build comparable data records for medium-sized inspection, agricultural, surveying, and mapping UAV platforms. Rather than selecting a power configuration through repeated trial-and-error flights, engineers can first identify the more suitable balance of endurance, payload capability, and operating reliability through controlled testing.

By following the principle of “verify on the ground before flight,” the LY-30KGF test bench supports a more disciplined propulsion-development workflow, from initial component matching to final flight validation.
