A drone frame includes first and second carbon fiber layers, and a center clear layer positioned between the first and second carbon fiber layers. A cutout is formed through an entire thickness of the first carbon fiber layer so as to expose a portion of the center clear layer. An LED unit is positioned in the cutout. The LED unit has a plurality of LEDs on a bottom thereof such that the LEDs abut the center clear layer. Light is transmitted from the LEDs through the center clear layer so as to illuminate the perimeter of the drone frame. A composite material used in the drone frame and a method of forming the composite material and drone frame are also disclosed.
