TAFNEX™ is renowned for being one of the lightest composite materials, easily outperforming traditional thermoset composites in weight. Therefore, our drone components, utilizing TAFNEX™, are lighter than state-of-the-art thermoset composite components, offering superior efficiency and maneuverability. Specifically, our monocoque frame is 14% lighter, and our drone arm is 20% lighter compared to similar state-of-the-art thermoset carbon composite versions.
By integrating functions through Injection Molding or Compression Molding, we significantly reduce the number of individual components, thereby simplifying assembly and disassembly. Our monocoque frame features 66 % fewer parts than a comparable state-of-the-art thermoset carbon composite drone frame. Additionally, our drone arm has 60% fewer parts, and our drone leg system, featuring injection-molded connecting pieces, contains fewer components than comparable state-of-the-art thermoset carbon composite systems.
In contrast to traditional thermoset carbon composite drone components, our drone components can be mechanically recycled into a high-quality compound material. This enables a closed-loop recycling process, converting end-of-life drone components into valuable material for producing new drone components, such as Injection Molding of a drone monocoque frame.
Compared to state-of-the-art thermoset carbon composite drone components, our drone arm and drone leg offer superior vibration damping. This advancement is made possible by the characteristics of the thermoplastic material, ensuring smoother flights and enhanced stability.
Beyond safeguarding your drone's interior, our drone cover adds a touch of elegance with its forged carbon design. This style comes with numerous customization options, allowing you to tailor your drone's look to perfectly match your personal or brand aesthetic.
The drone monocoque frame serves as the primary structural component, offering robust support and safeguarding internal electronics such as the battery, control systems, and other critical components. It contributes to the overall lightweight design and ensures durability during flight operations. The TAFNEX™ monocoque structure also aids in vibration damping, improving the stability and performance of the drone. Furthermore, the TAFNEX™ monocoque frame facilitates easier assembly and maintenance through significant component reduction, allowing for quick access to internal parts when necessary.
The drone arm serves as a crucial structural element, providing essential support and contributing to the overall integrity of the drone. It plays a key role in maintaining the lightweight design while ensuring strength and durability during various flight operations. The TAFNEX™ drone arm aids in reducing vibrations, which enhances the stability and performance of the drone. Additionally, it facilitates the mounting of various components such as motors and propellers, ensuring optimal functionality. The design of the TAFNEX™ drone arm also allows for easier assembly and maintenance, enabling quick access and replacement of parts when needed.
The drone cover serves as an essential protective layer, safeguarding the drone's internal components and contributing to its overall structural integrity. It is designed to maintain the lightweight nature of the drone while ensuring durability and resilience during various flight conditions. The drone cover aids in minimizing exposure to environmental elements, thereby enhancing the stability and longevity of the drone. The TAFNEX™ drone cover also adds a stylish aesthetic to the drone with its forged carbon design.
The drone leg structure serves as a vital support component, providing stability and contributing to the overall structural integrity of the drone. It is designed to maintain the lightweight nature of the drone while ensuring durability and resilience during various landing and flight conditions.
With TAFNEX™ drone legs, connecting pieces can be seamlessly integrated into the tubular structure through Injection Molding, thereby reducing complexity and making assembly and disassembly effortless.
