Indirect 3D Printing of an Inflatable Wing for Small UAVS Reinforced with 3D Hexagonal Diamond Structures

Indirect 3D Printing of an Inflatable Wing for Small UAVS Reinforced with 3D Hexagonal Diamond Structures

Small UAVs provide beyond-line-of-sight situational awareness to frontline troops and minimize unnecessary loss of lives. Small UAVs are carried into the field and launched manually. Inflatable wing is a potential way to increase the packing efficiency of small UAVs and reduce the load on troops. A...
