UAVOS Inc. has completed the production of a new batch of high-performance composite rotor blades for unmanned helicopters using its in-house composite curing capabilities.
The manufacturing process centers on the OVEN-500-2000, a composite curing oven designed, manufactured, and quality-assured entirely in-house. This vertical integration guarantees that every oven leaving the facility meets the same exacting standards used to produce UAVOS unmanned aircraft. The resulting rotor blades feature a service life of up to 3,000 hours, having already demonstrated durability and safety within the unmanned aerial systems industry.
Engineers utilize advanced multi-layer carbon composite technology to achieve these performance benchmarks. Each blade core is milled from approved aviation-grade foam to maintain an optimal strength-to-weight ratio, while the NACA 23012 airfoil profile ensures high aerodynamic efficiency. To accommodate operations in demanding environments, the design includes an optional bonded stainless-steel insert on the leading edge to protect against erosion and impact.
The OVEN-500-2000 is used for curing prepreg composite parts and post-curing high-temperature moulds. While it serves UAVOS’s internal manufacturing lines, the equipment is also recommended for use across aerospace, marine, automotive, and R&D composite applications. All units are CE marked, confirming compliance with European Union health, safety, and environmental requirements.
Aliaksei Stratsilatau, Founder and CEO at UAVOS, commented, “We use the OVEN-500-2000 to cure the very parts that keep our helicopters airborne. If it meets UAVOS’s aerospace-grade requirements for flight-critical components, our customers can trust it for their own critical composite applications.“
By maintaining full control over both the curing equipment and the final composite output, the company ensures that every unit leaving the facility meets the same exacting standards applied in the production of its unmanned aircraft.
