Cover Story: As drone technologies continue to revolutionize sectors from defence to agriculture, the materials used in UAV construction play a critical role in ensuring both performance and sustainability. This review offers a comprehensive evaluation of drone components through a materials- and energy-centric lens, highlighting the environmental impact of commonly used composites, metals, and polymers. By integrating life cycle assessment (LCA) with emerging bio-based and recycled alternatives, we propose a roadmap toward more eco-efficient UAVs. In this review, we identify material trade-offs between strength, weight, and carbon footprint, providing guidance for future drone manufacturing practices rooted in circular economy principles.
