Skydweller: Largest autonomous, solar-powered drone can fly for three months without landing

Big names like NASA and Boeing have tried and failed in building solar-powered uncrewed aircrafts that can stay airborne for weeks. Their inability is largely attributed to structural challenge called aeroelasticity, where ‘flexible wings can’t handle turbulent air at altitudes between 6,500-32,000 feet.’ Now, a US-based tech company called Skydweller Aero has developed a solar…
