Carbon Nanotube Materials as Enablers of Low-Altitude Aerial Innovation: A Functional and Strategic Analysis

Yihe Wang and Chengyou Li

GBP Proceedings Series, 2025, vol. 11, 1-8

Abstract: This paper presents a comprehensive functional and strategic analysis of carbon nanotube (CNT) materials as key enablers for innovation in low-altitude aerial vehicles. CNTs offer exceptional mechanical strength, lightweight properties, and superior electrical and thermal conductivities, making them ideal for enhancing the performance and durability of drones, urban air taxis, and other unmanned aerial systems. The study explores how CNT integration supports design innovation, improves flight endurance, payload capacity, and safety, while enabling advanced sensing and multifunctionality. Furthermore, the paper discusses market trends, strategic challenges, and policy frameworks influencing CNT adoption in aerospace. It concludes with recommendations for stakeholders to invest in research, foster collaboration, and capitalize on the transformative potential of CNT technologies to advance the rapidly growing low-altitude aerial vehicle market.
