"Moving forward with weight" has brought many problems to drones in terms of energy consumption and power loss. With the current global energy crisis and environmental pressures increasing, drone manufacturers are accelerating the development of weight-reducing products. Therefore, lightweight is the goal that UAV applications have been pursuing. Reducing the weight of UAVs can increase the life of UAVs and reduce energy consumption.
The advantages of carbon fiber composite materials. Compared with traditional metal materials, carbon fiber composite materials have a relative mass density of only 1/4 to 1/5 that of steel, but their strength is six times higher than that of steel. The specific strength is 2 times that of aluminum alloy and 4 times that of steel, which meets the demands of drones for lightweight. Furthermore, the carbon fiber composite material has a small thermal expansion coefficient, and its structural stability is very good. It will not deform the UAV shell due to changes in external temperature, and has good fatigue resistance and very good shock resistance.
Carbon fiber composite materials have very good performance advantages, which makes UAV shells made of carbon fiber composite materials also have very good advantages. The carbon fiber UAV shell has simple molding process, low production cost, and can realize the integrated molding of the shell; it has strong designability, can provide more energy storage space for the UAV, and provides a broad space for the optimization of its structure. Degrees of freedom.
In addition, carbon fiber composite materials have the advantages of reducing vibration and noise, reducing interference to remote signals, and at the same time because of their electromagnetic shielding performance.
