Disclaimer

While our database provides valuable insights to help during the initial stage of component preselection, it only focuses on static test data. We strongly recommend validating all performance data by conducting your own internal testing before relying on this data for your design project.

Many aspects of the design process are not covered by this data, such as dynamic testing, PID and flight stability, endurance testing, noise and vibration, airspeed, temperatures, control protocols, calibration, and more. Because a data point exists at a high throttle for the component does not mean it can safely sustain this throttle for more than a few seconds.

Test equipment:

Series 1780

Components:

Motor: T-Motor U5 KV400

Propeller: T-Motor P18x61

ESC: T-Motor ALPHA 40A 6S

Plots

Propulsion system (powertrain)
Change display units

ESC control protocol: standard PWM 50 Hz

Derived data
      Electrical power = Voltage × Current
      Mechanical power = Torque × Rotation speed
      Motor efficiency * = Mechanical power / Electrical power
      Propeller efficiency = Thrust / Mechanical power
      Powertrain efficiency = Thrust / Electrical power

*  motor and ESC efficiencies are combined.
