The use of modern composite materials and technologies in the design of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

Abstract

The integration of modern composite materials and advanced manufacturing technologies has revolutionized the design and performance of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). This study investigates the application of carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRP), glass fiber-reinforced polymers (GFRP), and hybrid composites in UAV structures. Through experimental testing, computational modeling, and aerodynamic analysis, the research demonstrates significant improvements in weight reduction, structural integrity, and aerodynamic efficiency. The results indicate that composite materials enhance UAV performance by increasing payload capacity, extending flight duration, and improving overall durability. This paper underscores the critical role of composites in advancing UAV technology and provides a foundation for future innovations in aerial vehicle design.
