Carbon Fiber Drone
Carbon fiber for drones” refers to carbon fiber composite materials widely used in drone structures or components. It is one of the most commonly used and ideal structural materials in the field of drones, mainly used to improve flight performance, reduce weight, increase strength and extend flight time.
Product detail
Why is carbon fiber suitable for drones?
| Features | Description |
| Lightweight and high strength | With the same quality, the strength of carbon fiber is much higher than that of aluminum and plastic, which can effectively reduce the weight of the aircraft |
| Good rigidity | It is not easy to deform, which helps to improve flight stability, especially in windy or loaded flights |
| Corrosion and fatigue resistance | It is suitable for various outdoor complex environments and is suitable for long-term flights or missions |
| Beautiful and easy to shape | The carbon fiber texture has a sense of technology and is easy to customize |
Typical application areas of carbon fiber in drones
| Parts | Functional description |
| Arms/brackets | Withstands vibrations from motors and propellers, requires lightness and high strength |
| Fuselage frame/centerboard | Supports the entire machine structure, often using CNC carbon plate cutting and molding |
| Propellers | Ultra-lightweight design can improve power efficiency and be more responsive |
| Landing gear | Provides landing cushioning and structural support |
| Exterior or decorative cover | Lightweight design while taking into account aesthetics and heat dissipation protection |
Carbon fiber material types (for drones)
Carbon fiber plate
- Common thicknesses are 1mm, 1.5mm, and 3mm
- Used for CNC cutting to make racks, bottom plates and other structural parts
Carbon fiber tube
- Round or square tubes, widely used in aircraft arms
- Hollow design, light and pressure-resistant
Prepreg carbon fabric
- Used for advanced customized drone shells or special-shaped structure molding
- Requires molds and hot pressing curing processes
Advantages comparison (with other materials)
| Material | Weight | Strengt | Cost | Application |
| Carbon fiber | ★★★★ | ★★★★ | ★★★★ | The mainstream choice of high-performance drones |
| Aluminum alloy | ★★★ | ★★★ | ★★ | Industrial-grade medium and large drones |
| Plastic/ABS | ★★ | ★ | ★ | Toy-grade and entry-level drones |
Application examples
- FPV racing drones: pursue light weight and high speed, usually the whole machine is made of carbon fiber structure
- Plant protection drones: large arms are made of carbon fiber pipes, which have corrosion resistance and load-bearing capacity
- Mapping/photography drones: neutral design to ensure wind resistance and stability
- Military/industrial drones: use high-end carbon fiber composite molding shells to meet professional needs
