Material Strength in Multirotor Component Construction
Material strength plays a large role in the quality, durability and dependability of multirotor components. Strength takes into consideration factors that relate to the behavior of the material when subjected to stresses and strains. From density to fatigue strength, there are specifications critical to the material strength and success of multirotor components.
