Research and fabrication of synthetic structure combining from balsa and composite material for unmanned aerial vehicles

Abstract

Nowadays, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are applied in many aspects of modern life especially the UAVs operating at high-altitude and long-endurance. the UAV using Balsa and composite materials are conducted widely However, research about the combination of those ingredients is lacked or insufficient. In recognition, the Balsa wood may be tough but have been affected severely by the environmental factors like temperature or humidity and the composite material is heavy when being stacked from layers. Due to all those facts, this research will approach to the synthetic of two above materials to show some reliable references aiding the process of manufacturing UAVs by conducting numerical simulations and experiments. All the prototypes will use the prevalent structure in the aviation industry and base on the modern structure and material theories.
