Описание к видео BAE Systems’ high flying solar aircraft completes trials

A British-led team of engineers has taken a leap forward in the race to harness the stratosphere for earth observation and communications, completing a new series of test flights of BAE Systems’ High Altitude Pseudo Satellite (HAPS) Uncrewed Aerial System (UAS), PHASA-35, in quick succession.

During the first flight at Spaceport America in New Mexico, US, recently the solar powered aircraft flew for 24 hours climbing to more than 66,000ft and cruising in the stratosphere, before successfully landing in a serviceable condition, meaning it was ready to fly again just two days later.
