Effect of Glass Fibers and Aramid Fiber on Mechanical Properties of Composite Based Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Skin

Glass Fibre-Reinforced Composite Materials Used in the Aeronautical Transport Sector: A Critical Circular Economy Point of View

“…It is expected thаt the current reserves will lаst for 45 yeаrs in the cаse of oil, 120 yeаrs for iron, 30 yeаrs for copper, and 21 yeаrs for leаd reserves. In total, 75% of the totаl weight of the cаrs tаken out of use is recycled, аnd 25% remаins residuаl dust [88].…”

“…Due to these difficulties, the majority of composite recycling activities are limited to cushion recycling, like fuel or energy recovery, with minimal material recovery, like strand building. The EUROPA End-of-Life Vehicles Mandate [88] and the Waste Electrical and Electronic Hardware Order [89] are two examples of relatively late environmental legislation that are creating a growing need for recycling techniques that lead to the actual recycling of materials [89]. Unfortunately, there are many issues which are correlated with recycling in general.…”

“…There has not been any real progress in the situation thus far due to a lack of adaptation and concerns over the production of chemical waste from chemical reuse. However, a cleaner technique based on natural and supercritical liquid innovation-particularly water-has drawn increased interest from researchers and demonstrated intriguing potential [83][84][85][86][87][88][89].…”

“…Thus, high strength-to-weight ratio facilitates maneuverability, reduces energy consumption, improving flight time, etc. Currently most UAVs are made of carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP), but there are studies that show that they can partially disrupt/attenuate RC signals (Ramadhoni et al, 2020;Verma et al, 2018). Composite materials are promising to reduce weight, but some of the manufacturing processes require both shape/size limitations and non-alignment of the fibers during processing (Geiger et al, 2019).…”
