Propulsion Progress (Fall 09)

The Propulsion group has been busy doing a lot of research into all the options we have for motor, prop, esc, and battery combinations. To verify potential propulsion combinations they have designed and built a thrust rig for the wind tunnel to measure, thrust, rpm, and power consumption while in the tunnel.

We are also plan on using a flight telemetry system to measure air speed, ground speed, altitude and other key flight parameters in real time for flight testing.
