Abstract

A drone chassis including an external structure that deforms elastically in bending, and a set of cables connecting at least one support, intended to support a functional element of the drone, to the external structure. The set of cables includes elastic cables deforming elastically in traction under a tensile stress above a natural deformation threshold, the set of cables being attached at several points on the external structure, referred to as attachment points, to hold the at least one support in a stable position with respect to the external structure. The elastic cables are attached under stress by applying an initial tensile stress and maintains the initial tensile stress by attaching to the external structure. An additional tensile stress applied to the cables attached under stress causes a deformation under traction of the cables only as from a threshold that is above the natural deformation threshold of the cables.
