Abstract

Foreign and Russian publications on the use of carbon fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRPs) and glass fiber-reinforced plastics (GFRPs) in the structural elements of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) were reviewed. The advantages of their application and the influence of strength-to-weight ratio of the materials on the efficiency of the UAV were described. The types of components made of polymer composite materials, their creation methods and the influence of manufacturing technology on the properties of plastics were explored. Adhesive prepregs with carbon and glass reinforcements developed by the NRC «Kurchatov Institute» – VIAM are proposed for possible use in the design of UAVs.
