Quick Answer

Material shortlist for this application.

Carbon fiber sheets, tubes, rods, 3K woven fabric, spread tow fabric and custom CFRP parts are used in civil UAV and drone components where lightweight structure, stiffness and stable dimensions are required.

Why carbon fiber is used

Where the material advantage comes from.

Carbon fiber plates and tubes provide high stiffness-to-weight ratio for frames, arms, mounts and equipment supports.
CNC-machined CFRP sheets support repeatable component geometry when drawings are available.
Visible 3K or spread tow surfaces can be used when appearance is part of the product value.
