Malaysia has invented a way to use pineapple leaves in the design of drones.
2021-01-13

A team of Malaysian researchers has demonstrated a working technique for turning pineapple leaf waste into a durable material. According to them, the resulting fibers are great for creating cheap components for drones. In addition, such technology can be used in the aerospace industry in the future.
Engineers claim that drones made of biocomposite material have a higher strength-to-weight ratio than analogs made of synthetic fibers. Another advantage of the new material is its environmental friendliness, which will allow you to easily dispose of damaged parts without harm to nature.
The first prototypes have already been tested and are able to fly to a height of up to 1000 m, remaining in the air for up to 20 minutes. The researchers plan to increase the size of the drones, as well as the load they can carry. This will allow you to expand the area of their application, as well as increase autonomy.
"The goal is to provide farmers with innovative solutions that will lead to higher yields," the researchers say.
