Development test results
Engineered.
Measured. Refined.
Bending and flight-vibration comparisons help us evaluate the frame architecture and guide the next design iteration.
01 / Three-point bending
More stiffness in
the tested frame.
Global bending stiffness versus the conventional carbon-fiber frame in this comparison.
The test used matched span, dimensions and mass. Three runs were repeated on the same frame for each design.
Read the test method
Stiffness is the slope of the force–displacement response from a linear fit over 20–150 N. Approximate values are read from the supplied test chart. The three runs measure repeatability on one frame per design, not variability across three independent specimens. This is structural stiffness, not material strength or ultimate failure load.
Global bending stiffness · N/mm
| Design | Stiffness | Runs |
|---|---|---|
| CarbonForm frame | ~32.0 N/mm | 3 repeats |
| Conventional CF frame | ~9.1 N/mm | 3 repeats |
02 / Flight vibration
Lower vibration in
the selected flight.
Lower raw gyro RMS than the CF-sheet baseline in the best of two CarbonForm flights.
Both CarbonForm flights recorded lower values than the single baseline flight in this dataset.
Read the comparison scope
Raw gyro RMS over 30–800 Hz, normalized to a CF-sheet baseline of 100. CarbonForm flights measured 35.2 and 40.8. The headline uses the lower of the two values. This development comparison does not establish a guaranteed reduction across all aircraft, flight conditions or configurations.
Vibration index · Lower is better
The second CarbonForm flight measured 40.8, equivalent to a 59.2% reduction relative to this baseline.
