electronic's
module for 10' UAV |
|
|
|
|
This 8" outside diameter, 27" long carbon
fiber sandwich cored tube is a prototype electronic's module
for a 10' UAV (Unmanned Air Vehicle). This tube will slide into
a recess in the UAV. |
|
|
This end of the tube has an inner air chamber that
needs to be helium (leak) proof. |
|
The inner air chamber is only 3.25" deep and
has carbon fiber ribbing between the two carbon fiber bulkheads. |
|
The chamber also has an innerliner of aluminum. |
|
The main cavity in the tube will be filled with the
electronics. |
|
|
|
|
|
The ends of the tube need to be water tight so that
water landings do not destroy the electronics inside. |
|
This client worked with Dream in the design of an
o-ring press fit cap that allows fast removal of the caps, as
opposed to bolts. |
|
The custom o-ring can be seen on this end's cap. |
|
The customer will also be testing this all carbon
fiber enclosure to see if it can concurrently act as a Faraday
Cage. |
