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. Go to the Tyto Robotics website to learn more about testing applications.
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.
