Development of a Propeller-ice Cutting Air Test Platform

A propeller-ice cutting air test platform was designed and developed. The platform can measure the thrust torque under the contact conditions of propeller-ice cutting and collision, avoiding the limitation of the open water dynamometer in the range. Experiments show that the test platform has the characteristics of easy equipment installation, good measurement stability, and high range applicability in the measurement experiment, which can meet the needs of experimental teaching and scientific research, and improve the experimental teaching system of propeller performance prediction.
