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 have been successfully installed and ground-tested on Bye Aerospace's StratoAirNet prototype unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV).
- The StratoAirNet is a solar-electric, medium-altitude, long-endurance UAV designed to carry 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 and avoid FAA airspace restrictions that typically slow UAV development.
