    Abstract: Integration of structure and aerodynamic shape results in a Damage Resistant Unmanned Aircraft, Capable of surviving ground handling and impacts with plants, wires, solid objects and water. The structure dismantles for transport and storage into a small space, that is resistant to damage. The aerodynamic arrangement has a improved ability to fly controllably in the gusty environment that causes difficulty for small light weight aircraft. A method of mounting pneumatic and fabric shapes onto a Damage Resistant Aircraft with parts facilitating a round structure. Use of the pneumatic shapes to adjust the length and stiffness of the post. The post produces tension on the structure that It presses against. Inflatable post ends and an attachment system. Multi piece removable wing tips which allow deflation, access and small folding volume of the inflatable structure. All tension rudders are formed inside the net structure where it is protected from damage.
