Integrated manufacturing technology for composite rudder of large-sized unmanned aerial vehicle
According to the difficulty on forming composite rudder of large-sized unmanned aerial vehicle integrally,a met-al combined female mold and a detachable core mold that made of"silicone rubber+aluminum blocks"were designed.Hand laying-up and oven curing processes were used to manufacture the rudder with good internal and external appear-ance,stable forming process,easy manufacturing,and low cost.The results indicated the proposed method is effective and efficient.
