Solar Powered UAV
Posted August 10, 2008 by Chris
This is probably one of the more interesting projects I’ve seen in a while, at least conceptually. A solar powered UAV seems at some level a no-brainer especially if it could fly high enough over the clouds & fast enough to always be in sun-light. The engineering behind it however is very complex. The project website has all the details you’d ever want!

Hi, I do believe this is an excellent site.
I stumbledupon it 😉 I am going to return once again since i have book
marked it. Money and freedom is the greatest way to change, may you be rich and continue to help others.

I do not leave a bunch of remarks, but i did some searching and wound up here Solar Powered UAV | PyroElectro
– News, Projects & Tutorials. And I actually do have
a few questions for you if you tend not to mind.
Could it be just me or does it look as if like a few of these responses
look like they are written by brain dead individuals?
😛 And, if you are posting at other sites, I’d like
to follow anything fresh you have to post. Would you make a list of the complete urls of all your public pages like your linkedin profile,
Facebook page or twitter feed?
