SolAero solar cells were successfully installed on “StratoAirNet,” Bye Aerospace‘s prototype unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). It was ground tested on both wings of the initial prototype for the advanced, medium-altitude, long-endurance solar-electric UAV.
StratoAirNet Solar-Electric Aircraft Hits Major Development Milestone
Key Takeaways:
- SolAero solar cells were successfully installed and ground-tested on the wings of Bye Aerospace's "StratoAirNet" prototype, an advanced medium-altitude, long-endurance solar-electric UAV.
- The StratoAirNet is a lightweight carbon composite aircraft designed to carry a 70 lb payload at altitudes up to 35,000 feet.
- To accelerate development and avoid FAA airspace restrictions, the initial StratoAirNet 15 prototype will be optionally-piloted for testing its solar, battery, propulsion, and flight control systems.
