We develop test methods for Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) mobility evaluation in a narrow space. This development aims to provide an easy-to-understand evaluation for people without technical knowledge, such as UAS users, and to boost the UAS industry. To indicate UAS performance in an easy-to-understand, the test methods in this research evaluate how much the UAS can do the task based on actually performing the test task in the test field. In addition, the test methods have variable environmental factors that dominate the task performance to discuss the UAS's environmental applicability for facilitating UAS usage scenario expansion. Because accepting the test methods for UAS users and manufacturers is essential for boosting the industry, this development is proceeding while discussing with UAS users and manufacturers. This paper introduces the development of a test method for evaluating UAS mobility for ascending through an aperture.
