Structure and manufacturing process for unmanned aerial vehicle

An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) device comprising:

• a monocoque shell with a molded construction that includes a central body and arms that extend outward from the central body, each of the arms includes a terminal end that is spaced away from the central body, the monocoque shell having a cupped shape with a closed top side and sidewalls that extend around an interior space, the monocoque shell including sheets integrated into and extending along the top side and the sidewalls of the central body and integrated into and extending along the top side and sidewalls of each of the arms, the sheets comprising body wraps that are positioned at the central body and arm wraps that are positioned at each of the arms, the sheets being arranged in layers with a body wrap being interposed between each layer of arm wraps and with an overlap between the body wraps and the arms wraps being limited to flaps at ends of the wraps that overlap at an intersection of the arms and the central body, the sheets further configured with fibers of the layers being positioned at n varying orientations to each other;
• a plurality of motors and rotors attached to the top side of the monocoque shell, with one of said plurality of motors and rotors positioned at the terminal end of each of the arms;
• a flight computer positioned in the interior space of the central body;
• and
• a baseplate that extends across the interior space of the central body and seals the flight computer within the interior space of the central body.
