The right FFT-GYRO size depends on the aircraft envelope and the type of validation work your team performs. A compact platform can be ideal for education and early development, while larger UAVs need more clearance and stronger mechanical capacity.
Start with the aircraft
Document rotor-to-rotor distance, mass, expected thrust, and any payload or frame changes planned during the test program. Those values define the minimum practical platform size.
Match the workflow
Research teams often prioritize flexibility. Production teams usually prioritize repeatability and fast setup. Training programs need a system that is durable, visible, and easy to operate.
