What types of drone kit frame are there? how to choose?
Compared with manned aircraft, UAVs have more advantages, and with the continuous expansion of the UAV market, the UAV kit are required to meet the advantages of light weight and high strength. At present, there are many kinds of materials for making drone kit. Let's take a look at the characteristics of the kit of different materials and how to choose the best.
1. Fiberglass drone kit
Fiberglass drone kit are more commonly used in small and medium-sized UAVs. Compared with metal materials, fiberglass composite materials are lighter in weight, and because glass fibers are used as reinforcements, the rigidity of the UAV kit will also become higher. The fiberglass rack is not afraid of being broken if it is hit or accidentally dropped during the landing process, and due to the good processing performance of fiberglass, it can also be processed into any shape.
2. Aluminum drone frame
Among metal materials, aluminum alloys are relatively low in cost and light in weight, meeting the requirements of lightweight. However, the biggest problem with aluminum alloys is that their strength is not high, and the aluminum alloy frame is prone to bending deformation when subjected to external forces, which will lead to imbalance during flight.
3. Engineering plastic drone kit
Engineering plastics are also lightweight materials, which are more suitable for the production of small drone frame, but in fact, air resistance can also be clearly felt during flight. Engineering plastics are sensitive to fire and many solvents, and have average mechanical properties, and if exposed to sunlight, sand and rain for a long time, the drone kit is prone to breakage or even powder.
4. Carbon fiber drone frame
Carbon fiber composite materials are favored by many UAV manufacturers because of their excellent mechanical properties and weight reduction advantages. Applying carbon fiber composite materials to the frame can reduce the weight by about 15%. And the carbon fiber frame can be integrally formed, which can reduce the assembly process of the drone and reduce the amount of assembly. And the overall rigidity is good, and the symmetry is good. The carbon fiber drone frame has a smooth surface and is resistant to corrosion such as acid, alkali, and salt. The carbon fiber composite material also has good electromagnetic shielding performance, which can help the drone achieve stealth.
