The ideal is an aircraft that can safely carry people! This is an example of my involvement in the development of a large drone approximately 4 meters in length.
We were involved in the development of a large drone approximately 4 meters in length. Our profession typically requires us to focus on "how to make it as realistic as possible," but this time, real functionality was also required. It was necessary to make it as light and strong as possible, with the weight that could be lifted by four propellers determined, and we significantly reduced the surface area by making many holes in the body. Moreover, we were asked to finish it with a thickness of 0.8 mm, which led us to use an EPS female mold for shaping with carbon fiber. The challenge of how to increase strength using the hand lay-up method was resolved by utilizing CNF. On August 5, 2019, we successfully conducted a test flight at an NEC facility in Abiko, in front of an audience of over 200 people, and we were able to devise a transportation plan for subsequent exhibitions.

basic information
【Overview】 ■ It was necessary to create it as light and strong as possible. ■ The weight that can be lifted by four propellers was determined, and by making many holes in the body, the surface area was significantly reduced. ■ Without autoclave facilities, carbon fiber was molded using an EPS (expanded polystyrene) female mold. ■ The challenge of how to increase strength using the hand lay-up method was solved by utilizing CNF (cellulose nanofiber). ■ A transportation plan was devised for exhibiting at subsequent trade shows. - The aircraft was tilted at the maximum angle without exceeding the truck's dimensions, allowing for transport without disassembly. - This contributed to reducing the time required for setting up and dismantling at trade shows. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
