Measured performance for small electric motors is extremely scarce. This paper presents an air-braked dynamometer to characterise motors and speed controllers for small uncrewed aerial systems. Aerodynamic braking enables stable measurement at extremely low torque and high rotation speeds. This work establishes a foundation for future validation of analytical motor modelling techniques.
