In this paper, a computer simulation has been done to study the aerodynamic structure around a X5C-02 main blades propeller. The numerical model is based on the resolution of the Navier-Stokes equations with a standard k-ε model. The local characteristics are determined using the software “Solidworks Flow Simulation”. The software gives us the opportunity to extract the global result of this system which is the force of the thrust. The validation of this result has been done using an experimental protocol designed in the laboratory named brushless motor test bench. In this paper, we have described the experimental set up and we have compared it with the numerical curve using two meshes.
