Choose the physical drum by aircraft constraints
A useful UAV fiber drum selection starts with the target specification, current source, quantity, and cost objective. Define the required fiber length, allowable weight and dimensions, payout conditions, and aircraft constraints before choosing a drum range.

Short-range, mid-range, and long-range drums make different trade-offs between length, weight, dimensions, and installation space. The right option is the one that can be mounted securely, routed without sharp bends, and tested on the target platform without exceeding the aircraft's payload or balance limits.
For a first quote, provide a current product or target specification, expected quantity, and price objective. If the aircraft is known, add the drum envelope, fiber outlet direction, payout route, operating speed, and test conditions for a platform fit check.
- Required fiber length and fiber type
- Maximum drum weight and available mounting space
- Payout direction, routing, speed, and expected quantity
