Development of an integrated line of drone test equipment$320Kvalue2024start2025end

The project is to develop new testing tools for drone manufacturers: a propeller balancer, a test stand for mulitple powertrains, a gas engine test stand, and a 6-axis full drone test bench.

Development of 6-axis flight stand technologies$200Kvalue2025start2026end

The project aims to develop advanced technology for measuring and testing drone propulsion, capable of capturing forces and moments across six axes.

Development of the second generation of tools$100.0Kvalue2020start2021end

Improved capabilities of thrust measurement tools used to determine the reliability, performance and characteristics of engines and propellers used on autonomous air vehicles.

Development of a Large Thrust Measurement Apparatus$100.0Kvalue2022start2022end

The objective of this project is to investigate, design, and test a high speed, high power electric thrust stand for thrust of up to 150 kgf of thrust. The tool will measure thrust, torque, speed, voltage, current, and derived measurement.

Developing and preparing a UAV testing platform for commercialization to support mission-critical UAV operations$75.0Kvalue2026start2026end

The project will result in a commercialization and innovation strategy to guide future growth in the defence market.

Ground anchoring system support structure$75.0Kvalue2023start2024end

Electric aviation is limited by flight time and payload carrying capacity. Tyto Robotics is currently working on a performance measurement tool for large electric aircrafts. This project will focus on the structure and the ground supporting the test instruments.

ARP - Development of technologies to analyze and increase the flight performance of drones.$50.0Kvalue2018start2019end

The objective of the project is to quantify and improve the aerodynamic performances as well as the precision of the tools of the firm. This project includes theoretical modeling, safety equipment, prototype production, and experimental testing to enable the use of products in environments requiring high quality measurement. The knowledge learned will be used to design the next generation of products, which is part of the firm's long-term goal of offering products for drone designers of the same quality as those used in commercial aeronautics.
