NWUAV Engine Testing — On-Site

Utilizing engine run-in stations and various dynos to qualify design elements, at Northwest UAV we'll help ensure you have the best propulsion system for your application. Our advanced testing and analysis capabilities and ability to control the testing environment, mean we can reduce flight risk significantly, saving you a substantial amount of time, money and resources. Using National Instruments data acquisition modules and LabVIEW®, we're able to capture real time acoustics and data down to 1/24 octave from 20Hz to 20kHz! And our software systems allow you to access and test your running engine from anywhere! Whether your engine is big or small, or you want to run your tests in our facility or elsewhere … Talk to our team about the testing and analysis you need done for your unmanned project.
