DARcorporation engineers have designed and built test stands to support electric motor and gas engine testing. For a given propulsion system, a test rig is designed accordingly and assembled with sensors and gauges. Calibrations are performed prior to testing on all measured parameters. Potential measurement interference is identified and eliminated. Data on throttle, RPM, thrust, torque, fuel consumption rate (when applicable), temperature and noise level are collected, validated and analyzed. Data corrections are included when needed. Automated RPM control and sweep integrated into testing are incorporated too.
