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 ground-tested on the wings of Bye Aerospace's StratoAirNet prototype, an advanced solar-electric unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).
- The StratoAirNet is designed as a medium-altitude, long-endurance UAV capable of carrying payloads up to 70 lbs at altitudes of up to 35,000 feet.
- The initial StratoAirNet 15 prototype will be optionally-piloted to accelerate testing, circumvent FAA airspace restrictions, and advance the project to subsequent assembly and flight test stages.
