Drone & UAV Composites Manufacturer
Advanced UAV composites
With extensive expertise in manufacturing composite UAV airframes and components, we at Piran possess a wealth of experience in this field. Our track record includes the production of UAVs with impressive dimensions, such as a 35m wingspan high altitude long endurance aircraft. We are at the forefront of developing innovative technologies for composite production, utilising carbon fibre pre-pregs with remarkably low fibre weights of just 15gsm, alongside ultralightweight Rohacell foam cores. These advancements enable us to deliver exceptional UAV composites that embody both strength and lightweight characteristics, setting new standards in the industry.

UAV composites FAQs
What are the composites used in UAV?
The specific choice of materials depends on the UAV’s intended purpose. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, are typically constructed using a variety of composite materials along with other materials to achieve the desired balance of strength, weight, durability, and aerodynamic performance, such as carbon fibre and fibre glass to mention some.
What is the average lead time on Design & Engineering services?
Lead time is product and industry specific. Get in touch so we can offer an estimate lead time for your project.
Can Piran Advanced Composites provide Design & Engineering at scale?
Yes, we are proud to offer volume production at scale.
Are UAV and Drone Composites the same?
The terms “UAV composites” and “drone composites” are often used interchangeably because they both refer to the use of composite materials in the construction of these unmanned aircraft.
