Abstract

The propeller test rig is a crucial component in aeronautical engineering that plays a vital role in the development, testing, and optimization of propeller systems for aircraft. This research outlines the design, development, and performance evaluation of a state-of- the- art propeller test rig developed for research and testing purposes. The primary objective of this project is to enhance the understanding of propeller dynamics and efficiency, leading to the improvement of aircraft propulsion systems. The test rig provides a controlled environment to evaluate and compare multiple propeller designs, aiding engineers in making informed decisions during the design process. An advanced data acquisition system is integrated to capture essential performance parameters, including thrust, rotational speed, and power consumption. The experimental setup allows for customization of test parameters, such as varying rotational speeds, blade angles, and propeller sizes. The analysis revealed crucial insights into the correlation between design parameters and propeller performance, aiding in the optimization process. The project’s outcomes open avenues for future research and development in the field of propulsion technology, making it a valuable asset for the engineering community.
