Why are drone paddles made of carbon fiber?

The main reasons for using carbon fiber materials for UAV paddles include light weight, high strength, corrosion resistance, good electromagnetic properties and designability.

Lightweight: the density of carbon fiber material is lower than that of metal, which makes the overall weight of the UAV reduced, so that it can carry more loads or extend the flight time, and improve the performance and maneuverability of the UAV.

High Strength: The compressive strength of carbon fiber is above 3500MPa, making the made UAVs fall resistant and extremely pressure resistant.

Corrosion resistance: carbon fiber has good corrosion resistance and can be used for a long time in various climates and environments, ensuring the stable operation of the UAV under harsh conditions.

Good electromagnetic properties: carbon fiber has a low conductivity and electromagnetic wave transmittance, which can provide better electromagnetic shielding and protection, reduce electromagnetic interference, and improve the reliability of the system1.

Designability: Carbon fiber material has good designability, which can be effectively designed according to the needs and provide better flight performance. At the same time, the smooth surface of the carbon fiber material reduces air resistance and improves the flight efficiency of the UAV.
