What are the advantages of carbon fiber UAV?

UAV is now widely used. It can be seen in aerial photography, plant protection, detection and mapping.

Now most UAVs prefer carbon fiber composites.

In this paper, we will learn about the advantages of carbon fiber UAVs.

Unmanned aerial vehicles need to consider the weight loss factor.

In metal materials, the density of aluminium is relatively small.

Usually it is used in the form of aluminium alloy.

The density of aluminium alloy is 2.7g/m3. The density of commonly used structural material steel is 7.85g/m3.

Comparatively speaking, the weight reduction effect of carbon fiber is more outstanding, its density is only 1.7g/m3, and carbon fiber is a kind of Fiber materials, which can can adopt integrated forming process, reduce some unnecessary spare parts, to a certain extent, can also achieve light weight structure.

The fatigue limit of most metals is 30%-50% of their tensile strength, while the fatigue limit of carbon fiber composites can reach 70%-80% of the tensile strength (the tensile strength of carbon fiber materials is also better than that of most structural materials).

It can reduce sudden accidents, have high safety and long service life.

Nowadays, UAVs tend to use carbon fiber materials.
