Yeşim BÜYÜKAKINCI1 Tuğçe ÖZKENAR2 Cem GÜLBAHAR3 Abstract Composite-material technologies have matured over the past 40 years to the point where high performance composites are being used to enhance the performance of nearly every new flight vehicle [1]. Carbon fibers have been used to replace metals used in composite materials because its performance-price is changing favorably [2]. They are also lighter and stronger than metals. This is the main reason why carbon fibers are used in composite materials. They also reduce fuel consumption and provide energy efficiency [2]. Furthermore, they have been used in many products, such as cars, airplanes, sporting goods, space vehicles and custom-designed products [2]. In this study, carbon fiber reinforced epoxy composite (CREC) was prepared and the flight performance of a radio controlled model helicopter with CREC chassis was evaluated. According to test flights it was observed that carbon fiber reinforced epoxy composites increase the flight performance of model helicopters. Keywords:Composites, carbon fiber, flight performance, radio controlled model helicopter 1.Introduction The materials needed to construct theoretrical dimensional stability, high dielectric strength, models conceived by aircraft designers did corrosion resistance, light weight, simplicity not exist for many years [1]. Composite of molding, surface treatment compatibility, materials have allowed engineers to overcome high temperature resistance, transparency, difficulties and now they are frequently high chemical resistance, vibration damping, used in the aircraft industry. They are five acoustic conductivity and sound absorption. times lighter and seven times stronger than These factors have roles in reducing the aluminium. Therefore, they are important operating costs of aircrafts in the long term, to the aviation industry. The most important increasing fuel efficiency and performance benefit of composite materials is their weight, [3,4,5]. which plays a fundamental role in their selection. They provide additional advantages A composite material is formed by combining such as high strength, design flexibility, two or more constituent materials with 1 Istanbul Aydın University, Department of Textile Engineering, Istanbul, Turkey. 2 Istanbul Aydın University, Department of Textile Engineering, Istanbul, Turkey. 3 Istanbul Aydın University, Department of Textile Engineering, Istanbul, Turkey. 949 Preparation of a Carbon Fiber Reinforced Epoxy Composite and Increasing The Flight Performance for Radio Controlled Model Helicopters substantially different physical or chemical properties, resulting in better properties than either constituent can provide independently. But, unlike a metal alloy, the constituents do not dissolve into or blend with each other, they remain separate and distinct within the finished structure [6,7]. One constituent serves as a bonding matrix while the other serves as reinforcement, in the form of fibers within the matrix[1]. In principle, a base matrix is prepared in a mould under high temperature and pressure. Subsequently, an epoxy or resin is poured over the base material, and when the composite is cooled, a strong material is attained [3]. 1.1.The manufacturing process Figure 1.
