When engineers build an aircraft or drone, they never fly it full-scale immediately.
They go through three critical stages:
|
Stage |
Purpose |
Example |
|
1. Prototype Testing |
Check design basics and performance. |
Small drone model flight. |
|
2. Calibration |
Adjust balance, sensors, and software. |
Align propellers and motor thrust. |
|
3. Iteration |
Fix and refine repeatedly. |
Add weight, replace blade, adjust code. |
Testing allows learning from observation, not guessing. Every imbalance, wobble, or sound gives clues.
