Carbon Fiber Tube For Drone

Advantages and characteristics of Carbon fiber tubes(CF tubes)
First of all it owns ultra-high specific strength and high specific modulus. The most prominent characteristics of CF tubes are their ultra-high specific strength and high specific modulus. The strength of CF itself can reach more than 3000mpa, which is 6-12 times that of steel, and the density is less than a quarter of that of steel. This means that while ensuring structural strength, it can greatly reduce its own weight. Taking the aerospace field as an example, aircraft weight reduction is of great significance to performance improvement, and this characteristic of CF tubes perfectly meets this demand. The high specific modulus allows CF tubes to have excellent deformation resistance when subjected to external forces, and can effectively maintain structural stability. When the drone is flying, especially at high speeds or encountering complex airflows, the CF tube can ensure the integrity of the fuselage structure and avoid deformation that affects flight performance.

Low density makes CF tubes extremely light, which is of extraordinary value in the field of drones. The weight of a drone is directly related to the flight time and actual load capacity. Using CF tubes to build drone fuselages, wings, arms and other components can significantly reduce the weight of the entire machine. Like the DJI Mavic 3 Pro, its CF gimbal system improves the image stabilization accuracy to ±0.02°, which is 10 times higher than that of traditional metal brackets. At the same time, it reduces the weight of the gimbal, which greatly improves the flight performance of the drone. Weight reduction means that the drone’s battery life is extended under the same power; if the battery life remains unchanged, more equipment can be carried, such as high-definition cameras, sensors, etc., to expand the application range of drone functions.
