This paper investigates the crashworthiness characteristics of material applicated in LAPAN’s UAV (E-glass–Lycal & Al) under axial quasi-static crushing. The effects of ply numbers (5, 7, 9) of polimer matrix composites (PMCs) tube on crashworthiness have been studied. Subject to axial crushing the experimental tests exhibit that all of empty circular PMCs specimens undergo a progressive end collapse. E-glass–Lycal composite tube has specific energy absorption (SEA) increasing from 13.63 J/g to 23.74 J/g, and the local product aluminum tube has SEA of 32.93 J/g.
