Abstract
In the framework of recent investigations on novel UAV propulsion concepts the work behind this publication is a contribution to bring numerical evaluations and experimental data into better agreement. The presented propeller test facility is tailored to measure small scale electric propulsion trains (<15 kW) sufficiently precise so that detailed changes on the design of a propeller can be resolved. The present paper focuses on the specific considerations that have to be made to develop a comprehensive instrument for automatic wind tunnel tests and depicts notable experiences that have made in a first measurement campaign. The results will be mirrored with numerical calculations by an implementation of an enhanced blade element and momentum method.
