This article presents the characterization of electric propulsion sets through experiments. A motor test bench have been build based on previous experience in order to improve the quality of the measurements. Moreover, the bench fits in a wind tunnel, allowing to perform a complete characterization over the full airspeed range of the considered mini and micro-UAVs. After recalling the general theoretical model of an electric motor, results from various combinations are presented. %G English %2 https://enac.hal.science/hal-01396980/document %2 https://enac.hal.science/hal-01396980/file/129_IMAV2016_Proceedings.pdf %L hal-01396980 %U https://enac.hal.science/hal-01396980 %~ ENAC %~ DRONES %~ TDS-MACS
