MUMBAI, India, Feb. 6 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511132527 A) filed by Chandigarh University, Mohali, Punjab, on Dec. 27, 2025, for 'biodegradable drone wings with self-disposal and environmental neutralization mechanism.'
Inventor(s) include Siddharth Arora.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 6, under issue no. 06/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The invention relates to a biodegradable drone wing system 200 incorporating a controlled self-disposal mechanism to eliminate long-term environmental impact when UAV recovery is not possible. The wing structure 303 is formed from flight-grade biodegradable composite materials 201 and integrates embedded degradation triggers, including enzyme-containing microcapsules and dissolvable joints 203,404. A protective barrier ensures structural integrity during flight by preventing premature activation. A disposal control unit 304 monitors operational and environmental conditions and authorizes disposal based on remote command, mission-time expiry, impact detection or environmental exposure. A detachable electronics module protects non-biodegradable components for retrieval. Upon activation, the wing undergoes controlled fragmentation and biodegradation, producing non-toxic and optionally ecosystem-beneficial residues. The invention provides a reliable, scalable, and environmentally responsible alternative to conventional UAV wings."
