Your drone flies at cruising speed. Shouldn't you balance its propellers under the same conditions?

We put this to the test in our lab, generating airflow at 10 m/s while dynamically balancing a scratched propeller.

Curious how we did it? Watch the full video here: https://hubs.la/Q04BD-CN0

This fall/winter, we're welcoming two new interns to our engineering team.

Meet Colin Alfonso, a mechanical engineering student at Carleton University, and Sri Vyas Narayan, a master's student in aerospace engineering at Concordia University.

From hands-on testing to bringing design concepts to life, we're excited to have them contribute to our projects and gain valuable experience along the way.

Welcome to Team Tyto!

Wind tunnels have evolved far beyond their use in aircraft development. Today, they also play an important role in civil engineering. We just published an article exploring:

- The challenges of reproducing complex atmospheric conditions in a wind tunnel
- How terrain, structures, and more affect turbulence and wind profiles
- The latest technologies engineers use to simulate real-world conditions in the lab

An overview of boundary layers, atmospheric boundary layer behaviour, and how boundary layer wind tunnel testing reproduces natural wind for civil engineering.

We were happy to see many familiar faces at GCXpo 2026. Thank you to Area X.O and Invest Ottawa for bringing everyone together.

The discussions highlighted the importance of understanding how autonomous systems perform beyond ideal conditions and the ability to maintain performance under pressure.

As the industry continues to move quickly, reliable testing and validation will play a key role in building trusted systems ready for real-world deployment.

How hard is it to fly through wind shear?
In this video, we use the 6x6 WindShaper to generate a controlled shear wind profile and test how the DJI Mini 4 Pro handles it.

We hope everyone had a great long weekend!

Labour Day is an opportunity to recognize the people whose hard work, skill and dedication keep industries moving forward. We’re especially grateful to our team for the care and expertise they bring to designing, building, and testing our technology right here in Canada.

We tested the DJI Mini 4 Pro in progressively stronger turbulence to find the point where control and mission performance start to break down.

The results might surprise you!

From Canada to the world🌎

Whether we're exhibiting at international conferences, visiting clients, or collaborating with partners, we're proud to bring Canadian engineering to the global aerospace community.

It's a privilege to see our drone testing equipment trusted by thousands of companies across more than 80 countries. We look forward to continuing to support the engineers and researchers shaping the future of unmanned systems.
