This experimental study contains the design, production, test and evaluation of the test processes of a Micro-Scale Rotor Test-Rig. For the study, NACA 0012 airfoil section is selected as a rotor blade without a twist and a taper ratio. The tests cover the thrust and the torque relation with different blade pitch angles and RPM values.
