Defence & Public Safety

Develop better UAVs and well trained operators. Scale faster, deploy with confidence.

Trusted by

Reliable Equipment

Test faster. Scale with confidence.

Tools your team can use

Start with plug-and-play hardware and clear software, with expert support for setup, automation, and data analysis.

Know your kit

Know what comes with your test system: core hardware, included software, and setup resources, with options to add the capabilities your team needs.

Move faster with repeatable tests

Automate repeat tests and compare results as your design changes, from the first prototype to production checks.

Mission-critical testing

Prove performance before deployment

Build repeatable tests around the loads, flight profiles, and conditions your UAV needs to handle.

Endurance & Reliability

Test. Validate. Optimize.

Endurance & Reliability

Run repeatable UAV tests to compare performance over time, identify weak points, and build evidence for design decisions.

Modular testing tools

Build a lab that meets your needs

Add capacity as your needs evolve. All supported by the same easy to use control software.

Engine testing

Engine testing

Test combustion engines with the Flight Stand 60. Measure thrust, torque, RPM, fuel consumption and temperature to tune performance and validate endurance.

Wireless control

Wireless control

Operate your Flight Stand from a connected workstation on your local network.

Run tests offline

Run tests offline

Control tests and record data without an internet connection, then export results for your own analysis workflow.

“We discovered your low cost sUAS propeller test stand at AUVSI and I think you guys have done an outstanding job bringing this tool to the community.

Keep up the great work!”

"We used the Flight Stand 50 to test subscale prototypes of our VTOL model.

We used an in-house wind tunnel setup and the test stand worked beautifully."

"Having a reliable ready-to-use-out-of-the-box thrust stand solution was critical to meeting our need to test often and quickly iterate on designs in our development of the toroidal propeller."

“We put our Flight Stand 150 on a weighted cart that we can roll onto the ramp of our R&D facility.

One of our favorite features of Tyto test equipment is the ability to easily integrate it into larger systems - we use it to test new power systems together with propellers.”

"The Flight Stand 15 has been fundamental in our efforts at UVIC CfAR to size a motor and propeller for our 21kg hybrid-electric multirotor.

On top of the comprehensive sensor suite accompanying the stand, the ability to automate testing has helped us to ensure that tests can be consistently performed."

"The out of the box capability coupled with the ease of use and powerful software features made the Tyto DEP system a no brainer when we were sourcing a system to test and validate powertrains.

We certainly couldn’t have built this capability from the ground up with the same budget, let alone timeline."
