Design and Development of an Aircraft Electric Powertrain Test StandRecent advancements in battery technology and power electronics are enabling novel approaches to powered flight that rely on fully electric or hybrid-electric powertrain systems. To mitigate the risk surrounding such unproven systems, it is necessary to characterize their performance on a component-wide and system-wide basis. In this paper, we discuss the design and development of an electric powertrain test stand that can collect high-fidelity data of motor, controller, and battery performance, thereby allowing us to determine system performance, efficiencies, and thermal characteristics.
