Composite Products

A Perfect Combination Enables Efficient Low-Altitude Trip

Mankind has entered a new era of composite materials.

Composite materials were used on non-essential load-bearing structures such as the tail surface on the fuselage then the application extended to wings and fuselage. After half a century of development, such materials have already been applied in emerging energy, transportation, marine ships, petrochemical engineering, national defense, infrastructure, sports products, etc. Some say that mankind has already entered an era of composite materials. United Aircraft has arduously been devoted to research in the aerospace composite material field and dedicated to cost control and reduction of full-cycle expenditure in the 5 dimensions including materials, technological processes, design, verification, and operation/maintenance. The company now has rich experience in the design of large, medium, and small fuselage structures and can provide professional full composite structure schemes involving structural design scheme demonstration, detailed design, size optimization, lay optimization, technological process optimization, experimental verification, dynamic and static fatigue mild analysis, etc., according to the product demands and characteristics.

System Solutions and Cases

Design Techniques for Modification from Manned Helicopter to Unmanned Helicopter

Composite materials have boosted the development of aircraft lightweight, high performance, and integration of functions and structures, which significantly reduces the number of parts and fasteners and thus they have been abundantly applied in the manufacturing of fuselage and wing components.

TD550 Coaxial Unmanned Helicopter

Because of their high specific strength, high specific rigidity, designability, outstanding fatigue resistance, and corrosion resistance, composite materials have already been widely applied in various aircraft.

Future Products

To embrace challenges in the future, United Aircraft's composite material team is exploring and researching a new generation of "Smart Composite Material". This will integrate the functions of sensing, control, and drive to realize perceiving (monitoring stress, strain, pressure, temperature, and damage), judgment and decision making (information self-processing, cause judgment, concluding), and implementation (damage self-fixing, self-change of stress and strain distribution, structural damp, fixed frequency, and other structural characteristics) and to support self-test, self-diagnosis, self-monitoring, self-fixing, and self-adaptation. Oriented to medium- and large-size UAVs, composite materials will promote the "Smart Life" concept and meet users' demands at multiple fields and levels.
