Recent 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.
