A proof-of-test bench Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) control and electric drives has been developed. UAVs are widely used around the world for both civilian and military purposes, which require power management. One of the challenges to design a UAV electric drive test bench is to increase track-endurance to achieve the maximum power in the air. The full electric-drives or hybrid concepts based on the batteries or fuel-cell drives can be useful to get these aims. This paper presents a description and experimental analyses of the electric-drive, and presents the set-up of the UAV’s electric propulsion system to design and optimize the electric drives to get the maximum efficiency using regenerative braking. The test bench evaluates the efficiency of the UAV in a regenerative braking mode for various scenarios for fixed-wing drones as well as helicopter-like drones. Results demonstrate the ability to monitor the power with different loads in different scenarios.
