UIUC propeller database
ThrustLab's propeller model is checked against measured wind tunnel data from the UIUC Propeller Data Site, and the validation report sets out how. The table below lists propellers by diameter and then pitch, with simulated results for each propeller paired with a motor and battery pack.
