The article shows the results of experimental studies of stability, supercritical behaviour and fracture of plates of a layered composite material. Composite plates are made of fiberglass layers glued with epoxy resin. To reliably assess the bearing capacity of laminated plates, numerical and experimental methods are used. A methodology for experimental research of the deformation and strength properties of composite materials using testing equipment has been developed. The difference between the critical strength values of three-layer samples and the critical strength of four-layer samples was determined to be 2-3%. Thus, products from composite materials (unmanned aerial vehicles) can be made from three-layer plates to reduce their weight. Models of two-layer, three-layer, and four-layer plates were performed with the ANSYS program. The obtained experimental results were compared with numerical values. The possibility of using experimental data of the mechanical behaviour of layered composite materials in the design and calculation of unmanned aerial vehicles was estimated.
