The structural design of agricultural UAVs critically determines their operational performance and efficiency, particularly in achieving optimal weight-to-strength ratios. This study employs biomimetic principles to develop lightweight UAV frameworks tailored for agricultural applications. By leveraging the structural advantages of natural organisms, we designed a UAV framework that maintains high structural integrity while achieving substantial weight reduction. Through systematic analysis of biomimetic design principles and integration with modern material science, we propose an innovative UAV framework design that significantly enhances flight stability and endurance. Experimental results demonstrate the design's proven performance advantages in practical applications, providing robust technical support for the widespread adoption and advancement of agricultural drones.
