Abstract
The paper presents a design of test stand designed for thrust propellers measurements. There are shown results of the thrust for different propellers. The study thrust was made for six different propellers. Propellers differed in terms of diameter, pitch and material. For all of propellers used was the same drive and the same control parameters (voltage, current). During thrust measurements HBM force sensor was used. The propeller drive BLDC motor was used, which was controlled by a system of dSPACE. The following paper analyses indicates that propeller diameter is its most important parameter and in some range thrust is proportional to diameter.
