This paper presents the validation of thrust coefficients for multicopter UAVs in flight with propeller thrust measurement mechanisms. This paper describes a newer version of the thrust measurement mechanism to avoid resonance which occurred in the previous version. Flight experiments with the UAV equipped with the developed thrust mechanism are carried out to verify the mechanism’s performance and validate the thrust coefficient in flight.
