Abstract: A propulsion system for a vehicle (10) includes a propulsor (102) for generating a thrust for the vehicle, a motor (104) operable with the propulsor for driving the propulsor, a motor mount (164) for mounting the motor in or to the vehicle, and a thrust measuring device(172). The thrust measuring device(172)includes a strain sensor(174)mounted to a structural component of at least one of the propulsor(102), the motor(104), or the motor (164) mount for directly measuring a strain on the structural component caused by the thrust generated by the propulsor during operation of the propulsion system.
